Usually life here is pretty calm, but we've recently (today, actually about 6 hours ago...) had a vandal attack with changing IPs from Germany (all addresses beginning with 217.231; three of them I located in Berlin). Here's [http://vo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Altdorf_%28Bayern%29&oldid=815122 one example] of what they did... Phew! I had never had this experience before. I had to learn (thanks to [[User:Spacebirdy]]) how do to a range block. It's over now, but it really made me see how some people react inappropriately to the work of others: if they don't like it, and can't convince many others not to like it either, then they just try to destroy it... ([[User:Siebrand]] said he'd bring the matter up with a steward. I wonder if there are other things I could do to make sure these people don't try it again. Probably not, sadly...). If you happen to know much about protecting a wikipedia against this kind of vandalism... let me know ;-) --[[Geban:Smeira|Smeira]] 20:45, 25 tobul 2007 (UTC)
:Bleh, I hate it when people put a wiki into their sights... it's so frustrating. I wish I wasn't so busy in real life, otherwise I could devote more time to RC patrol here. I'll go ahead bookmark [[Patikos:Recentchanges]] so I can swing by in my few spare moments.

::I don't expect anything much now, just your usual individual vandalism (although one German guy tried to be smarter: he simply altered the population figures for three French cities, so that it didn't look like anything strange had happened... unless you looked close). That one time was probably the result of the German interwiki-haters not having succeeded in closing vo.wiki. This is something I really can't understand. OK, they don't like the interwikis, let them remove them; but some of them apparently get so angry at not being able to close the 'source of useless interwikis' that they have to go ahead and become vandals. And these are normal people, who do good work on their own Wikipedia (e.g. [[de:Benutzer:Decius]] (if you look on his talk page you'll see where I show how I identified him as a vandal), who likes Albania -- a country I myself also love -- and does a quite good job of taking care of articles on this topic in de.wiki). What a pity. --[[Geban:Smeira|Smeira]] 18:44, 5 novul 2007 (UTC)
