I wonder if contributors with editing privileges should attempt to restore edits. If there were no deleted files and the Google cache is complete, I don't really see a reason to wait until Rena (or another Answers dev of course) has time to restore edits.
How to restore a deleted/tampered question?

Sometimes users remove major parts of their question, which makes the answers/comments much less useful for future readers. The reasons why people do this could be discussed, but don't matter here.
Because people agreed to the Terms of Use, they published their post under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 3.0 license. This gives anyone permission to post the exact content in a comment (with attribution of course, although that should be obvious from the context).

One main reason I personally haven't been doing so is just that I didn't know the art of recovering the orginal post from cache. You've addressed that.
However, an additional problem is that determined OPs will just delete the question again. When you post the original version in a comment box, they can simply bury it by posting an unrelated thread title and 10 pages of SPAM in the question box, like this particular OP spectacularly did. What is needed is a way not only to recover the original question, but also to lock it from further editing. The editor community has put in a request for such a feature.

It seems that this is only good for adding a page to the archive if you can get an old copy already from an archive. But the times I've tried, usually a day or so after the page was altered, either the various archives don't have the page at all, or if they do, it's of the already-altered page.
And there are so many first time posters I can't spend the time to add all of them to the archive myself.
