If you spend a short while looking through the history of the article, you can see that:
1. there has been all sorts of vandalism over the years; 2. Cluebot caught a lot of the vandalism within a minute of it being made; 3. It's well-watched and editors reverted the rest of the vandalism quite quickly; 4, There's no incident of vandalism (that I could see) that remained more than a couple of hours. In other words, our system works. But that's not news. -- Rexx On 24 April 2014 21:27, Stevie Benton <stevie.ben...@wikimedia.org.uk>wrote: > Just for some context, it's been reported in the Liverpool Echo - > http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/hillsborough-wikipedia-insults-added-government-7029881and > the Telegraph - > http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/wikipedia/10786380/Insulting-revisions-to-Wikipedia-entry-on-Hillsborough-made-from-Government-computers.html- > so please be aware it's a live story for now. > > If you happen to receive any enquiries, please do feel free to send them > my way. > > Thanks and regards, > > Stevie > > > On 24 April 2014 21:14, Jon Davies <jon.dav...@wikimedia.org.uk> wrote: > >> Just to alert anyone a journalist has been in touch regarding some >> reported vandalism to the article about the Hillsborough Disaster = >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillsborough_disaster >> >> We have explained how it is the community of editors who look after the >> content and that we have faith in the sound judgement of the community >> >> -- >> *Jon Davies - Chief Executive Wikimedia UK*.
