I have to say, that was kinda awe-inspiring.
Admin
Scientizzle caused sheer mayhem and shut down Wikipedia for 90 minutes by

I thought an admin called Laurence-something did it? And at one point they thought Something Awful forum members were involved.
That was a different event. A sysop account got compromised, unblocked the mainpage and deleted the "atheism" article. Tarantino mentions it above.
