Restoring part of a reverted edit is a recommended practice in online collaborative writing. Often when an article version contains more than one disagreeable passage, it is easy to revert to a previous version.
A reversion is an edit, or part of an edit, that completely reverses a prior edit, restoring at least part of an article to what it was before the prior edit. [a] The typical way to effect a reversion is to use the "undo" button on the article's history page, but it isn't any less of a reversion if one simply types in the previous text.
Partial reversion involves restoring a specific part of the page to a prior version while retaining other edits. Self-reversion involves an editor undoing their own previous edits. Reversion does not necessarily require the use of the undo tool. Any editing method that effectively returns the page to a previous state is classified as a reversion.

Doing so just past the 24-hour period could be seen as gaming the system and sanctions may still be applied. Don't discuss at all.
In the locative inversion example, isikole, "school" acts as the subject of the sentence while semantically remaining a locative argument rather than a subject/agent one. Moreover, we can see that it is able to trigger subject-verb agreement as well, further indicating that it is the syntactic subject of the sentence.
In English, verbification typically involves simple conversion of a non-verb to a verb. The verbs to verbify and to verb, the first by derivation with an affix and the second by zero derivation, are themselves products of verbification (see autological word), and, as might be guessed, the term to verb is often used more specifically, to refer only to verbification that does not involve a ...
