[edit] Thanks for the email

Hi Matt, got your email. I had a quick look at the Dorking article's history, it looks like you are doing a good job fighting the vandalism there. One thing you might want to try if it continues is to request "page protection". This stops IP editors editing the page. To request it, go to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection and follow the instructions there. Another good place to ask for help about vandalism is the Administrators Noticeboard. You can issue warnings to vandals - WP:VANDAL has the instructions about how to do this. Vandals can be blocked from editing, especially if they continue after being given warnings. Anything else I can do to help, just ask, but I won't be on that much for the next few days as I have family staying, best wishes, DuncanHill (talk) 23:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
