-Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has now been removed. Please use [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]] for any other tests you want to do, since testing material in articles will normally be removed quickly. Please see the [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome page]] if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. -- [[User:Francs2000|Graham  &#9786;]] | [[User talk:Francs2000|Talk]] 22:06, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

-== Vandalism ==
-Greetings.  I've noticed some [[vandalism]] coming from your IP address.  Any further vandalism will be reverted.  Please cease to continue your atrocious behavior, or your IP address will be recorded on the [[Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress]] page.  Website defacement is a crime in numerous countries, and you can rest assured that if you do not stop vandalizing pages after being warned, you will be blocked.
-We've all worked hard to make [[Wikipedia]] what it is today.  A study by [[IBM]] showed that the majority of vandalism on wikipedia is repaired within the next 5 minutes, so your actions are feckless, and only serve to put you at risk.  If you have any questions, feel free to leave a note on [[User_talk:Frazzydee|my talk page]].
-If you decide to change your behavior, your contributions will be greatly appreciated- regardless of what your previous behavior was.
-== Vandalism: May 27 ==
-Note that the high volume of edits to radio station articles from this IP address today followed a pattern aimed at masking vandalism.  The vandal made multiple edits to a group of related articles over two days, the first round of which appeared legitimate.  The initial volume of legitimate edits gave the appearance of good faith.  Only later did the vandal return to make bogus edits.
-The approached used was:
-# make a series of minor, legitimate-looking edits
-# create a new bogus article
-# create legitimate-appearing edits in exisiting articles linking to the new bogus article
-# create further edits that insert inaccurate content into the articles linking to the new article
-# use similar inaccurate content across a series of articles in a genre
-# make legitimate edits following bogus edits so that the most recent edit appears OK
-Initially, this vandal did a good job appearing to be a good-faith editor and his bogus entries appeared valid.  Only by viewing several of his edited articles and seeing the similarities did it become obvious what was going on.  As a result, entries made via this IP address should be reviewed often and carefully.

-== Odd Vandalism ==
-As mentioned above, the poster seems to make legitimate edits and then goes to post things that make no sense and what amounts to future history.
-It was this or some variant of this that got my attention:
-''For most of its existence, the station served as an ABC affiliate but became the NBC affiliate for New York on July 1, 2006, following the defection of long-time NBC station WNBC to the Disney and ABC.''
-The first tipoff was not the 2006 date given, but the fact that I know WNBC is part of NBC and not any sort of subsidiary or station with an affiliation. For all intents and purposes WNBC is NBC, so this patent nonsense stuck out like a sort thumb.
-One should be keep an eye on television station articles for this person, especially station owned by or affilliated with ABC or NBC. [[User:Spotteddogsdotorg|Spotteddogsdotorg]] 08:10, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
-== Dodge ==
-Please stop adding this nonsense that Dodge would be discontinued in 2010.  --[[User:Sfoskett|SFoskett]] 15:30, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
-:Again, please stop adding nonsense about [[Pontiac]].  --[[User:Sfoskett|SFoskett]] 22:36, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
-== [[KLAX]] ==
-Why did you use my article on [[WSKQ]] and pretty much change some words around to create an article on [[KLAX]]? I decided to make the article into a basic stub, and delete all of the wikipedia cutting and pasting that you did with my article. [[User:ErikNY|ErikNY]] 20:06, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
-* This user has been up to more than that today.  A known vandal that likes to copy the same edits into radio/tv station articles, this is the latest misinfo: "In [[2002]], the station's longtime home on [[Sunset Boulevard]] in [[Hollywood]], was vacated, and KWHY relocated to studios at Glendale, then NBC Studios in Burbank a few miles away in San Fernando Valley , was demolished in [[2003]] to make for a shopping center."  I've found it in several articles and am now cleaning it out.  What a pain. [[User:Tobycat|Tobycat]] 03:54, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
