Fighting vandalism
When you see vandalism in an article, your first reaction probably is to just delete it. That's often a mistake - the vandalism may have overwritten good text, and when you remove the vandalism, you remove evidence that a problem (still) exists.

Instead, you should revert the vandalism - use the "undo" option, or open a prior (good) version (both via the history tab) and the edit and save the older version.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia - we hope you stick around and don't let (sometimes) complicated processes bother you. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 01:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
