Wikipedia talk:Most vandalized pages
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There's a recent spate of vandalism against beverage articles (coffee, tea, Earl Grey tea). I don't know what it's about, or why people are doing it. Is this worth calling attention to on WP:MVP? EventHorizon talk 07:46, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Hmm... I think that should be reported at Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress -- AllyUnion (talk) 08:26, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Javier Solana
This page suffers from vandalism by people who believe Javier Solana is the Beast. Much more disturbingly one or more of these people have made the site into one of the most blatantly POV sites on Wikipedia, obsessively pushing the thesis that Solana is a power hungry megalomnaniac. Said person/people do believe he is the beast, so making him power-hungry is designed to prove he is the beast. He has been compared to Hitler by 68.61.150.80 talk contributions who is also one of the main culprits of other blatant POV, and who almost certainly operates from more than one computer, I think.
This POV is all well out of order, and has been out of hand. I have today put the article into a NPOV format by deleting the megalomaniac thesis, so far without a response, though I fear that one may be coming, --SqueakBox 03:10, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Bizzar
Perhaps I am reading the diffs wrong but it looks like 68.88.14.94 is vandalizing pages then reporting them here. Very strange. Dalf | Talk 23:20, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "Sex themes" category
There are quite a number of pages listed under "Frequent vandalism from many people" that would qualify to be put under "Sex themes". What do you think is better: moving the links to the latter category or merging the sex category with the other one? My preference is the latter, as otherwise we would need more categories to be consistent (People, places, religions etc.) --IByte 19:56, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
- I solved the problem by adding new categories under "Frequent vandalism from many people", and then putting as many pages as I could under the new categories. I then added the "sex themes" articles to Sex Themes, and Current Events has become a subcategory. - Rickyrab, working from his craputer at 204.52.215.107 17:00, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] An Error?
The Geography category lists the entry, "niGGer" as a comonly vandalized entry. The CIA factbook spells that country's name niGer. Is the slur being confused with the country? Richard Daly 23:35, 12 October 2005 (UTC) a new user.
- Indeed it looks that way. I moved it to a section 'Derogatory terms', since I couldn't find anywere else that seemed appropriate. — MC MasterChef :: Leave a tip — 07:41, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- I agree too, it doesn't belong their either. I turned the new category into "Coarse Language" so stuff form other sections could go in their to make it bigger. Jareand 18:38, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] James Ruse Agricultural High School
I have added James Ruse Agricultural High School to the list under geography. I have noticed a lot of vandalism happening on that article, particularly from Australian IP addresses.JSIN 02:02, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Billy and Mandy
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy has been vandalized quite a bit recently, but I'm not sure as to what category it goes under. -- PinkDeoxys 00:44, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman's page is vandalized at least twice a day. I think it should be added to the list. --The NeveR SLeePiNG 13:59, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] CPU
Central processing unit has seen rather a lot of vandalism over the past few months. Can someone look at the history and indicate whether it is actually abnormally high and whether it is a candidate for listing here? Thanks. -- uberpenguin @ 2006-05-18 12:50Z
[edit] "Music" category
Can we add a "Music" category here? Frosty 02:23, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Limestone
I'd like to add Limestone because it is vandalized quite a lot. Which category does it belong to? Science? Frosty (sup?) 11:54, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Elephant et al
Time to list the articles that were encouraged to be changed by the Colbert Report yet? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 17:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Shared IP
As IP addresses can be shared by several hundred thousands of people, surely an article being "goofed around by one IP address" might be being goofed around by more than "one person". Of course, it is near-impossible to find out whether vandalism is being done by one particular user of the offending IP address or whether it is actually widespread among the users of the IP address. Just a comment, though. 202.156.6.54 08:36, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Elmo
As I found, Elmo is frequentily vandalized. Which section does it belong to? -- FrostytheSnowman ('sup?) 14:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Living Persons
Should there be a section devoted to living people here regardless of genre? It seems fitting due to the strictly enforced BLP policy. MrMurph101 19:23, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
