Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography/Counter-Vandalism Department

Not frequent - but needs watching
I happened across this today in pretty bad shape. It is especially troubling since this edit only got part of the original vandalism. I also could find no reference to him being molested that did not have the word "wikipedia" in it. So I reverted that out wholesale. Anyway, this article needs a few babysitters/expanders. -- Trödel 21:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Watch out for Salt and Pepper Shakers Vandal
A few months back an anonymous editor was going around adding to articles such as Glenn Ford and Bob Hope a rather nonsensical statement, usually a variant of "In their later years they concentrated on their passion for collecting salt and pepper shakers." When I saw the exact same wording appearing in a few places I got suspicious, and I actually contacted a relative of Glenn Ford's who is a friend of mine and asked if he could confirm the information, and he said it was nonsense. So I've been reverting this statement whereever it appears. This vandal seemed to disappear for awhile but reemerged earlier today at Glenn Ford. I blocked that IP but he might turn up again elsewhere. Just a heads up more than anything else that should editors come across reference to "salt and pepper shaker collecting" in any biographical articles, they should treat this as suspicious and probably revert without question.

The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mark_Karr article needs to be watched. It gets vandalized on a daily basis.ShadowWriter 21:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Li Hongzhi
I believe that on this page, which is protected, there are several Wikipedia Policy violations, so I prepared a draft Talk:Li_Hongzhi/Edit_request_2007-02-14 which removes some of these violations.

Could anyone of you take the time and look over these and perhaps let me know how to proceed further?

This is an important page since it ranks first on google see here: --HappyInGeneral 13:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually I think I should move this notice here: Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard, but still please feel free take a look. --HappyInGeneral 13:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Active?
I notice some of the volunteers are from 2005, and some are no longer active. Should we redirect this page to Cleaning up vandalism? DrKiernan (talk) 09:53, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
