Wikipedia: Vajazzled Vulvas in Volvos with Vuvuzelas!



"It's one thing when kiddies at home or school do a bit of Wikipedia vandalism, but this is a reputable IT company with people who should know better," says one Wikinsider. "Or perhaps they don't realise IP addresses are tracked and logged in which case they get what they deserve."


After blocking a Volvo IT business address permanently for IP vandalism.

And thus we see (once again) that all the WMF puffery about CONTENT holding sway over all rules (WP:IAL), is indeed just so many lies. WP will indeed react differently if the same vandalism comes from a school library rather than some corporate building. It isn't what happens to the encyclopedia they care about, so much as WHO DOES IT.

As we've said all along.

You get 4 weeks for that on Wikipedia. I've never actually seen it, so my apologies if it's shit. Clearing up (or over) the evidence of various crimes sounds about right for WP admin.
