It's not a great problem I've found patrolling Recent Changes. I see a lot of people changing numeric things like sports player's stats. I loathe sport. So when someone changes an 8 to a 9 I think.... "aaargh". But [[WP:Huggle]] allows you to retrieve the contributions and you often find the previous three contribs are: "Suck my cock!" "Is Yo Mama!!!" and "This stinks ass!!!" So I change the 9 back to an 8 and leave in the edit summary "bad faith user making numeric edit." Sorry, I'm getting off the point: we're talking about /referenced vandalism/... hopefully we don't get too much of that. I fear the really sneaky guy, though. Most anons are very transparent and easy to deal with. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
