User:Jeske Couriano/How to detect vandalism

Welcome to my seminar on vandalism!

Today I will show you what can be construed as vandalism and what's simply an honest mistake by an outside editor, as well as other things that make this place hostile!

Types of vandalism
Vandalism comes in several types, but these are the ones we're most likely to see:


 * Childish Vandalism: Simply, this is adding "YOU SUK!!" or "song is a big wanker" to the article.
 * Blanking: As the name implies, this type of vandalism nukes the entire page.
 * Comedy: This is when a person inserts an irrelevant joke into the article.
 * The Toddler Effect: This is replacing a whole article with Childish Vandalism or Comedy.
 * Link Libel: This is altering a link to head to the wrong article or creating a misleading link, e.g. Arrathir Quinn.
