We have our own methods of catching vandalism as it happens. Unfortunately, they require us to be present and online at the time of the incident, but with hundreds of vandal fighters this isn't an issue. We can quickly preview an edit and revert it if it is inappropriate, past offenders are generally monitored (I'll check your contributions in an hour or so, possible have somebody else monitor them after that, after the Elijah Wood incident - don't worry about it, bad vandals don't care, a minority look up and listen when we warn them, like you have). In this way, and by multi-tasking (I'm currently spellchecking articles and contributing to projects as well) we can keep bad edits hidden. We can't actually validate facts, but anything suspicious is removed. --Draicone (talk) 07:12, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
