Same case was observed and discussed (in VP) in ta wiki too. All the IPs changes are being reverted now. We cant decide whether this is the case of someone of replacing their preferred files from commons or deliberately stirring up controversy On Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 11:22 AM, Mrutyunjaya Kar mkr...@gmail.com wrote: Same case at Odia wikipedia http://or.wikipedia.org/ On 2/2/12, Harish mghar...@gmail.com wrote: This has been observed and reverted in Kannada wikipedia. -- Forwarded message -- From: Tejas jain teju2frie...@gmail.com Date: 2012/2/2 Subject: [Wikikn-l (kannada wikipedia)] Global Vandalism through IP 212.121.219.1 on Indian territory info To: wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, wikik...@lists.wikimedia.org Some one has done global vandalism through IP 212.121.219.1 http://toolserver.org/%7Eluxo/contributions/contributions.php?user=212.121.219.1 on Indian territory info.
