In the article about Donagh, there is (still) the following:
QUOTE There are local tales of a long history of aggressive sheep , in this area. This is believed to have been caused by a curse laid down by St. Patrick for being refused a lamb meal by the landlord of the time, when he visited the area and founded the church many years ago. There is a local legend of men being killed by their herds in the past, and the superstitions drawn from these stories are thought to contribute to the complete lack of any sheep farmers within, and around a considerable radius of Donagh.[citation needed] Originally inserted, by an IP, in August 2007. Google shows none of this. Other WP articles show nothing. If anyone wants to hand out awards for oldest unfixed vandalism, I want mine now. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/biggrin.gif) |

obviously not for articles like this one
no one argues that schoolboy vandalism is always quickly removed on obscure articles or would you like hundreds of examples of childish vandalism lasting on high school articles? |

QUOTE(Anonymous editor @ Sun 28th March 2010, 4:02am)  obviously not for articles like this one No true Scotsman, eh? The vandalism was not amateurish. I have seen similar vandalism in numerous other articles, and the trend is increasing. You people can't fix them because you simply can't detect them. This is the product of breathless credulity combined with WP:AGF. Inclusionism! QUOTE no one argues that schoolboy vandalism is always quickly removed on obscure articles We are talking about three years here. QUOTE or would you like hundreds of examples of childish vandalism lasting on high school articles? So you can't even remove amateurish vandalism that you know exists? Wouldn't such a list do you more good than me? |
