Vandalism Removal
I just got done removing some "interesting" vandalism (why is there no plural of vandalism?), and would like to give a special thanks to Jevansen for assisting me in this regard. Does anyone have any tips about how to protect against vandalism? I know this is an ongoing issue, and I don't expect a simple answer, but some of this stuff is ridiculous, and since this isn't really featured article material I have to rely on good Samaritans to clean it up.

Preventing Vandalism
Sorry, but I think you are out of luck on the vandalism front. The CVU (counter vandalism unit) is pretty good at what they do, but you can always monitor this page yourself (in the watchlist) to make sure nothing is amiss. That being said, I don't consider myself a Wikipedia expert by any stretch of the imaginiation, so maybe some other people would know better. Venrix (talk) 04:52, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Getting this page rated
While I'm here, I noticed that this page is not yet rated, so why don't we get on that with a vote or something? Venrix (talk) 04:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Venrix (talk • contribs) 04:54, 1 April 2010 (UTC)


 * That sounds like a great idea, how do we go about this? FinalFrontier1776 (talk) 05:07, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
