[edit] Repeated vandalism

I remove the part about the flatulence since it is most likely a joke. One Stanford website mentions that it has something to do with the use of cattle dung as fuel, while the linked websites mentions "human activities" but do not specify what activity.

--BK--

Word choice aside, merely due to the fact that particulates are a critical component here, it is dubious that flatulence would play any part. No source makes it even that much harder a sell. -Onceler 17:01, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Various anons keep adding the phrase "including human and bovine farts". There is no support for this in the sources, and thus I will continue to remove it. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 16:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Not that vandalism templates have helped much in the long term, but they do tend to bring attention from admins more quickly for repeated vandalism from the same IP address. I don't know what else one can do. The history for this page reveals countless reverts for the same text. Since it is pretty clear the same person or group of people is involved with this recurring vandalism, in the past, I have gone right to level 4: {{subst:test4-n|Asian Brown Cloud}}. Feel free to paste that on the talk page of the latest IP address doing this. -Onceler 17:01, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I would suggest using level 3, i.e. {{subst:test3-n|Asian Brown Cloud}} if it is clear that it is being given against a person who has vandalised before (e.g. same syle of edits)- otherwise use {{test1}}. Using {{test3}} still gives admins the opportunity to block without further warning, whilst preventing a reduction in the impact of test4 (as admins will not automatically block after a test4 if it is not deemed appropriate). I will keep a watch on this article and semi-protect again if it gets really bad. Petros471 09:04, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
