Talk:Long Crendon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"... for too long now, badgers have taken a back-seat when it comes to major political activity. But with the birth of the ICRB's active badger re-education programme, the world holds a brighter future for the most under-rated of God's fauna. We hope that within 3 years, there will be an ICRB representative standing for election in local government, and by 2009 we hope to hold a significant percentage of seats in the house of commons."
John Blaireau - Spokesman for the ICRB
- Please stop adding this nonsense to pages.
This is not nonsense, the badger is a symbol of this small Bucks community used in its school amblem and as a symbol of the local football team.
- That's as maybe, but the above user keeps adding other nonsense to this article that is clearly nonsense whichever way you look at it. Please read the above passage by "John Blaireau" thoroughly, and then rehtink your statement. -- Graham :) 17:43, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
"Reverted edits by 217.34.127.93 on 5 Mar 2004 to last version by Francs2000: see talk"
The above reversion was made because although the edits added by the above user look genuine, this user also vandalised the user page of the sysop that blocked the earlier vandal and there are no verifiable hits for "rare" + "badger" + "Long Crendon" on google. If the above user is you and you wish to re-add your edit to this page, please provide a verifiable reference here before doing so. -- Graham :) 18:37, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] References
I'm hesitant about slapping an {{unreferenced}} tag on the article, but there are no direct references and only a few indirect ones. It would be helpful if it were properly referenced; otherwise, given the history of vandalism and given the length of time this article has been on Wikipedia while violating our policies on verifiability and reliable sources, it may need to be stubbified to geographical data only.

- I think threatening to remove other people's contributions is a bit low, but I have added references where I am able. -- Roleplayer 12:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- It's Wikipedia policy; any material without references must be removed. Also, no contributions are permanently missing (per the requirements of the GFDL); if references are found, they can always be recovered from history. Nice job on the references, by the way.

[edit] Badgers? Bullshit!
195.92.168.nnn keeps inserting bullshit about badgers like "The badger is a symbol of this small Bucks community used in its school emblem and as a symbol of the local football team."
The school website is http://www.longcrendon.bucks.sch.uk/ - no badgers here.
The football team website is http://ccfc.long-crendon.com/index.htm - no badgers here.

- See the history of the article going back to 2003. This appears to be a long term recurring problem. -- Roleplayer 22:35, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

- This is a vandal with a really long breath, I have this article on my watchlist since then and will continue to revert that badger nonsense every time it occurs (as long as noone else is faster with cleaning it up). That vandal even left some "thank you" notes on my user page back then, which only made more sure that I'll keep monitoring this page :-) andy 22:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
As this idiot is now in breach of the 3 revert rule on this page, and I can't revert them again without breaching it myself, is there something the admins can do about this? Note that they have been adding similar nonsense to articles about neighbouring villages Shabbington and Chearsley. -- Roleplayer 11:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- The 3RR does not apply for vandalism. But as IP blocking won't help here and will only block other valid users, I have now semi-protected the three articles. But I am quite sure the vandal will return after that protection expires... andy 11:49, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

- Cuddington, Buckinghamshire appears to be being similarly vandalised. Scribble Monkey 14:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

- Hopefully now that it's come to a head he'll get bored and stop. It must occur to him that the more he does it the more we get used to his MO, the more quickly we'll deal with his idiocy. -- Roleplayer 12:23, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Who are all you badger haters? I very much doubt whether any of you live in the vicinity or you would know full well that there are a number of official road signs on major roads e.g. the A418 coming out of Aylesbury towards Oxford, alerting drivers to the presence of badgers in the area.And if you were ever out and about in this lovely part of the country you would, sadly, see many dead badgers by the roadside (unless of course Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall has got there first and taken them home as road-kill for the pot).
- Seeing as you ask I do live in the area, and I know that if you had commented on the presence of roadsigns warning drivers about the badger population in the area, that would have been allowable. You have however failed to add a single verifiable encyclopedic fact to any of the articles in question. You have decided to bugger about and add lots of nonsense to the articles instead, which is why you are reverted on sight. Add something worthwhile and verifiable using sources that we can check, make a note that you are doing that in the edit summary (below the edit window) and it might get to stay where it is. Bugger about again and we go back to reverting everything you do. -- Roleplayer 15:30, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Errrr - why do you assume that the person who posted the badger paragraphs is the same person who wrote the paragraph above yours? And why do you assume that the badger author is male? Isn't this sexist?
- 1 - Same IP string, same geographical location, similar subject and immediately following a spate of mindless badger-based vandalism all point to either same user or two users that know each other
- 2 - Because I rate women as having more intelligence
