FYI I am newbie. I recently discovered offensive vandalism to transpiration page. I reverted the page to an older form. I am wondering if this is proper etiquette and if I should take further action? Just want to be sure my first wikipedia offering is a thorough one.

Looks like you did just fine... :) -- Scientizzle 00:53, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Yep! You did good, and you did well. In follow up to a reversion, you could always warn the user, to inform them that what they're doing is vandalism. See Wikipedia:Vandalism#Warnings for more information. This is helpful because it might encourage the user to stop vandalizing (and start contributing constructively), and if they continue to vandalize, it could be reported to an admin at WP:AIV (the administrator intervention against vandalism page). There a differences between someone who is maliciously vandalizing Wikipedia, and someone who is just testing to see if Wikipedia actually works; check out the policy at WP:VANDAL for more information (especially the sections called "Types of vandalism" and "What vandalism is not").
I hope I'm not giving you more information than you want/need. Welcome to Wikipedia, and happy editing! GracenotesT ยง 00:59, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
