[edit] Vandalism

The practice of vandalism in Wikipedia articles is not limited to inserting jokes, but also includes deletion of whole sections of information, without some prior warning, discussion, and concensus. Such deletion of sections of information is called "blanking" and is very frequent, perhaps because it is much easier to delete a section (or revert to a prior version), rather than to add new detailed information.

In this article, the new section "See also" has been blanked multiple times, under the guise of nonconformance to the strictest of Wikipedia format standards; however, such blanking is still pure vandalism, even if disguised by elaborate excuses. The correct approach is to establish a warning notice for other editors, open a dialogue, and try to reach a concensus before deleting whole sections from an article, especially if those sections are new, which further amplifies the extreme level of the vandalism. -Wikid77 17:37, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

31-May-2006: At 14:57, on 30-May-2006, user Melchoir vandalized this article for the 3rd time, again deleting the "See-also" references to other articles about Brokeback Mountain; I have contacted user Melchoir about detailed examples from Wikipedia-format guidelines, but got only excuses & vague rationalization against various Wikipedia-format articles, which are not even official Wikipedia policies. There is no policy against listing related articles in a "See-also" section, but user Melchoir had been determined in continually blanking my additions to the "See also" section, since beginning this vandalism & blanking the links earlier today. I don't know who is assuming the identity of user Melchoir, but the behavior has been that of an Internet troll, waiting for an article to be updated, and then fighting changes for no logical reason. I think the agreement, so far, is to let the "See-also" sections stay, but I don't know if the agreement will do any good. -Wikid77 05:09, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
