_ [[:Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Pieface007]] serves as documentation-central re the vandalism of the accompanying Dab page by (apparently) a single user, whose first registration seems to have been as [[User:Pieface007]]. (The Cat does not yet fulfill that role -- isn't it redundant to clarify my meaning with the word "completely"? -- bcz i haven't tracked down, and what is more demanding, evaluated, blocked, and fully tagged, the earliest IP addresses used in the vandalism, but IMO opening disc'n of semi-protection is more urgent.) The vandalism is burdensome to the conscientious editors who have been thoro & prompt in reverting it, and may suggest to others that they can eventually tire out the vand patrollers and get visibility for their personal PoVs on "[http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS313US313&q=%22a+remarkable+achievement+of+humanity%22+Schmidt+Wikipedia&btnG=Search a remarkable achievement of humanity]" (according, last week, to [[Eric E. Schmidt|the boss at Google Inc.]]). <br><!-- |

--> _ Temporary semi-protection will force IP users who want to edit this particular Dab page to ''register'' as users, and stick to editing other things for four days -- or however much longer it takes them to accumulate ten edits. (Or longer and more edits, if they are using [[Tor (anonymity network)|Tor]] proxies.) <br><!-- |
|||
--> _ I'll wait a few days for objections before applying the semi-prot. <br><!-- |
|||
--> _ Per policy, ''temporary'' semi-protection is being proposed, with the expectation that it has a good chance of stopping the vandalism. It would of course be repeated if a single period of semi-prot is effective only in ''delaying'' further vand, and eventually escalated if repeated semi-prot is not effective on the long term. Personally, i have in mind a month initially, and if several repetitions fail, semi-prot for a length of time equal to the full span of time between the first vand'm attributed to the vand'l and whatever is then the most recent period of vand'm. <br> --[[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]]•[[User talk:Jerzy|t]] 20:26, 12 March 2009 (UTC)<br> |

* Tacit consensus has been demonstrated. In the meantime, the vandal {{Vandal|79.67.61.73}} has reinserted the rejected and undefended Dab entry, blanked [[:Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Pieface007]], and then ''removed'' the Dab entry. I have semi-protected that Cat page. <br><!-- |
|||
--> In the long run, even self-reverted vandalism should not be tolerated (and we have seen some of it before on the accompanying page, so it does not necessarily imply them abandoning vandalism), but pending any objections expressed on this talk pg, i'm ''delaying'' semi-prot of the accompanying Dab long enuf to see if anything interesting develops -- on the principle that when the alternatives differ insignificantly in expected value, the one among them that offers the most ''interesting'' possible results is to be preferred.<br> --[[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]]•[[User talk:Jerzy|t]] 20:38, 16 March 2009 (UTC)<br> |

** Well, i guess that counts as interesting: a presumable [[WP:POINT|POINT]] violation, without any actual corruption of information. I'm putting the entries back into chronological order, and applying semi-prot. If the vandal wants to accept the difference between "anyone can edit" and "anyone can do anything they want without countering the objections" -- and become an editor -- it's a good time for them to request unblocking of Pieface007 (or start a new acct that suits them, if they prefer), and show up on this talk page. <br> --[[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]]•[[User talk:Jerzy|t]] 20:12, 18 March 2009 (UTC)<br> |
