Re: Wikipedia

Who cares?! It's just a website. It's not a real encyclopedia site, just one that people edit themselves.

Re: Wikipedia

It's better than a normal encyclopedia because it contains more articles, and is updated more than once a year.

The vandal would get blocked for violating the 3RR (a rule saying you can't revert a page more than 3 times in a 24 hour period unless it is to revert vandalism) or for vandalizing the page. If someone keeps vandalizing, they will be blocked and each block will be longer than the last.

Re: Wikipedia

ok twice a day then a new account with a new email on a proxy server. if they want to be immature and keep changing it, their isnt a lot that can be done unless the page is closed to editing.

Re: Wikipedia

They can semi-protect a page, that prevents anon users and new users (accounts less than 3 days old) can't edit it. A page will only be fully protected (when only admins can edit) if it's like 3 or more regular users constantly editing and reverting each other.

Vandals are easily taken care off, but I don't get the point in vandalizing Wikipedia (it doesn't help when celebs like Jon Stewart do it and then mention that). It is cool that Eric Bischoff talked about WP and that Hudson Soft has actually asked their fans to help improve articles related to them,
