Ideas for defense? --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 17:59, 4 July 2009 (UTC) |

: Notice, for example, that [[Special:Contributions/209.172.33.230]] created pages despite being [http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User:209.172.33.230 blocked]. |

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

: This was all contributed by one of our great early contributors... it has definite utility, it just is an unfinished project... I think it's okay where it is (aside from the way it overweights use of the [[special:random]] page :) --[[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 10:19, 24 April 2008 (EDT) |

== Question == |
|||
Here's an [http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=The_OLPC_Wiki/index.php&diff=prev&oldid=120722 edit] I just reverted by [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Special:Contributions/202.28.27.4 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 [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_talk:Administrators OLPC_talk:Administrators] or here? I also posted this to [[User_talk:Leejc#Another_aspiring_vandal.3F | Leejc]] because I've seen that he takes a keen interest in such matters. |

== 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. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 15:09, 10 April 2008 (EDT) |
|||
: You could leave the user a comment about moving it to user space; then if it hasn't happened after a while, to move it yourself with another note. Definitely guidance more than vandalism, when there's a question. --[[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 10:18, 24 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.. --[[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 10:16, 24 April 2008 (EDT) |
|||
: I've done some analysis of the block logs and linked it from a stub page [[OLPC:Bot_Interest_Group]]. I think some of these are very possibly simple errors by new eidtors, but some definitely have the characteristic signs of being "probes" by vandals, see [[OLPC:Bot_Interest_Group/Tracking#Observation_4:]]. Matching up the patterns is inexact and so in most cases it is hard to say. [[User:Cjl|cjl]] 15:39, 12 August 2008 (UTC) |

Perhaps you could consider semi-protecting [http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=User:Felice/ebook.html.template&curid=15549&action=history| this page], no anonymous edits, I don't want to fight/lose an edit war with the page blanking bot that has a thing for this page. I can see no valid reason for blanking, it has i18n template info I'm interested in using at some point. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 23:01, 5 May 2008 (EDT) |
|||
:Seventh time rescue, pretty, pretty please consider semi-protect. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 17:53, 10 May 2008 (EDT) |
|||
:: OK, it should be locked to unregistered users now. Thanks —[[User:Leejc|Joe]] 22:29, 13 May 2008 (EDT) |
|||
:Thanks, I really believe semi-protection is merited in this case. It will be interesting to see if the bot moves to another page :-( [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 23:08, 13 May 2008 (EDT) |
|||
== URGENT need for anti-vandalism bot == |
|||
The wiki vandalism is getting out of control. I see (what are to me at least) clear signs of increasing sophistication in the automation of the attacks. I can't beat the bot at it's own game, OLPC needs a counterbot, NOW. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 19:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC) |

::ffm, This is simply not a helpful reply, I find it rather disappointing. You should try to be more thoughtful in responding, this is a serious problem and requires a serious answer, not a flippant "DIY" [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 05:08, 13 July 2008 (UTC) |

== Vandalizing the vandalism page == |
|||
I just undid edits by 79.68.53.182 -- deleted all content on the page and the discussion. I presume this was not a sanctioned action. -- [[User:Davewa|Davewa]] 21:41, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |
