From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please don't accuse editors of
vandalism unless you're absolutely sure they have committed it. In particular, avoid using the word in edit summaries (such as "reverting vandalism"), and be very careful about posting
vandalism warning templates on user's talkpages. Review the
vandalism policy thoroughly before you do that, and see especially the section
"What vandalism is not". Note that content disputes are not vandalism, and that good-faith edits of any kind, even if you think them misguided, are not to be considered vandalism. Vandalism accusations without any basis in policy are bad for the climate on the wiki and make constructive discussion more difficult. See
WP:VAND: "If a user treats situations which are not clear vandalism as such, then it is he or she who is actually harming the encyclopedia by alienating or driving away potential editors." See also
Wikipedia:Avoid the word "vandal".
I'm pretty sure the revert was in good faith, don't overreact quite so much. Thanks! Gscshoyru 20:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
