Old talk at talk:VANDALISM IN PROGRESS

In the "how to remove undesired changes" section of Wikipedia:VANDALISM IN PROGRESS, it says: "click "View" for a previous version." Am I missing something, or is there no "View" button in the History page? Stec 04:50 Sep 20, 2002 (UTC)

Those instructions refer to an older version of the software; now the date/time itself is the link, there's not a separate "view" link. I've updated the instructions, make sure they make sense. --Brion 05:02 Sep 20, 2002 (UTC)

Just an observation: Why is it that all our vandals appear to be unimaginative juvenile twerps? Could it be that there are far more subtle vandals peppering Wikipedia with difficult-to-spot trolls that just don't get caught? Is Ed Poor one of those trolls? We probably wouldn't be able to cope with this class of vandals... thank god ours are so unsophisticated. Graft

(Decided you weren't kidding about Ed?) Most of anything is unimaginative. The ones that are too subtle to notice are probably there — but also probably rare. — Toby 09:09 Oct 18, 2002 (UTC)

We're all getting it. Switch on the "show minor changes" to see why. -- Derek Ross

In your preferences, maybe? --isis 17:19 Oct 24, 2002 (UTC)

So whats the word on this lag? Anyone gonna fix the server? 129.186.80.131 13:53 Oct 28, 2002 (UTC)

Updates on the progress should be at wikitech-l; check there. (BTW, this isn't really the place to talk about it, since it shows up all caps in Special:Recentchanges; I'd suggest the Wikipedia:Village pump.) — Toby 16:23 Oct 31, 2002 (UTC)


I have moved the debate over the Jewish articles to Wikipeda:edit wars in progress. Ezra is not "vandalizing" -- he is making valid, permissible edits which you guys disagree with strongly. Go disagree elsewhere, and stop crying wolf here! --Ed Poor
