subtle vandalism may persist

[ericbarbour]

the vandalism is only five days old but there you go. the IP was blocked as a sock of Vujkovica_brdo but the vandalism is still there

interesting....now I wonder if someone is leaving it sitting, not because they're Serbian, but because they hate NATO that much. Allegedly NATO's first actual military action was in the Bosnia war. Big change from its first 40-ish years of existence. Look at the section in the NATO article to see how "good Wikipedians" regard NATO today.

(Or have pro-Russian accounts been editing this? Hmm. I see no penises here. All NATO content is basically being dominated by this creature.)

there is a thread at wikipediocracy called "vandalism may persist" or something. i cant find a similar thread here so if there is one, feel free to merge this post there.

Jake Kaminski, archer and Olympics participant. married to Amanda, but according to wikipedia, his wife's name is Heather. who inserted this falsehood into the all knowing oracle? Heather.kaminski, seven years ago. Hhommema removed the correct name about six months before.

also, Bpillow062 inserted the assertion that this 34 year old archer won the Bronze Medal in the "1964 Goldeneye", whatever that is.

eta: the edit by Bpillow062 was reverted a month or so later

(edited)

over a year and it's still there. maybe he really is married to "Heather Kaminski".

a few days after this update, the vandalism was removed by Ltbdl. so the vandalism only lasted from March 24, 2017 to April 7, 2024, or about seven years... well done, wikipedians. i wonder how long it wouldve lasted had it not been brought up here

Personally have not seen any outstanding examples of subtle vandalism recently. Though I could fill up a long thread with examples of bad writing on WP content.

Vandalism continues to be stupid and obvious 99.99% of the time, and this continues to be even more stupid. And incomplete.

a fine example of vandalism would Jacob Chansley's article but the vandalism isnt even subtle. it currently contains two statements that are clearly vandalism:

His appearance, with face paint using the colors and symbols of the American flag and a headdress made of animal fur from a freshly killed raccoon helped to establish his shaman nicknames.[citation needed]

After his release, his signature horned raccoon headdress had not yet been returned to him, and he was running a hot dog stand to raise funds for a new one.[citation needed]

AH HAH, finally stumbled across a really stupid item. It's been there for almost three months.

FYI, "Pokimane" is a very popular gaming streamer. Being a cute female helps--unfortunately, she apparently attracts all kinds of stupid teenaged boys as a side effect. There's a YT video of her being harassed by a foul-mouthed 12-year-old. Ugh.

If you're gonna vandalize, do it HARD. This was posted a few years ago and you can find ZERO traces of it on any Wikimedia site--but it's still appearing on meme sites and social media today. Saw it on x-shitter.

Depends on if being an Italian youtuber is notable or not... even if it's not notable If it's verifiable that it happened I suppose it's not vandalism .. its just sorta who cares .. I'm not even sure if the other references listed are all that notable
