And which solution do you consider to be better? If you just remove
the wrong part of the article and then oversight/delete the revisions
B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, the history would look like _you_ added all
the positive contributions (added by users B–J). Which is, among other
problems, a copyright violation.
