Editor's note: Watch out for removals. I manually reverted a whole section removal by a new user on the [[Rob Wilson (South Carolina politician)]] article. I also just reverted a half-removal by a new user at the Wilson article under the "Public reactions" sub-section. Piece-by-piece deletions are a great tool for pushers and vandals, because they fly under the radar, while still compromising the targeted text. (I'm not saying the second revert was a clear cut case, just that I didn't like the lack of explanation for the removal). I can't count how many times I've come back to articles to see even slightly critical text slowly or even not-so-slowly picked to shreds and then vanish. A vandal bot *can be reconfigured for removals made without substantive comment, or removals by new editors, right? -Stevertigo _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
