XO Korea

What's up with XO Korea/business content and its many subpages? 19:01, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

Question

Here's an edit I just reverted by user 202.28.27.4. It was particularly egregious in that co-opted a redirect to the Main page.

Would such observations be best posted to OLPC_talk:Administrators or here? I also posted this to Leejc because I've seen that he takes a keen interest in such matters.

should be looked into. The "index.php" part and posting to a talk page of an article that doesn't really exist at that location is a familiar pattern. Cjl 14:43, 4 April 2008 (EDT)

index.php and nastiness

maybe, maybe not

I'm really less than sure about this one, but it might merit a look by someone. Cjl

Pretty sure it was Chinese link spam; we've gotten similar before. Deleted, thanks! —Joe 00:07, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

That's what I thought too, it looked a lot like stuff in the delete logs from a while back. Cjl 00:54, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

Simply in need of guidance?

The content on Microprocessor definitely belongs over in User space, not Main. Is "Microprocessor" is too important a concept to leave this page alone? It reads more like someone in need of guidance and not necessarily a vandal, but the previous question remains to be answered. Cjl 15:09, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

one-character vandals?

I caught a one-character typo vandal today, which reminded me a bit like a few other odd minor vandalism edits. I wonder if there are people sporadically testing this (and perhaps other popular) wikis, as a simpler version of the random-string spammers.. --Sj talk 10:16, 24 April 2008 (EDT)
