- Assignment: Read Wikipedia:Vandalism in detail, and then find an example of at least 5 types of vandalism.
In addition, I would have found you image vandalism, but it was so grotesque it had to be hidden from review. (I had gone to a deletion discussion and voted an article for deletion-then the author decided to put a very inappropriate picture with a fitting caption on our talk pages as IPs-bad vandalism).

Please answer these questions about Vandalism and let me know when you are done. You don't need to give a long answer. Thanks!
Test 1
- Please briefly describe what vandalism is.
- A: Vandalism is any edit made with the intent to disrupt Wikipedia.
- Am I allowed to get in an edit war while reverting vandalism?
- A: Technically yes I am allowed to war the vandal since the 3RR makes an exception for reverting vandalism. But I think it should be avoided at all times.
- What should I do after I spot vandalism? (3 steps)
- A: I should do three things: Revert the vandal, Warn the vandal (and report if persistent), and Ignore his reactions.
- Please list 3 ways how to spot vandalism.
- A: One way to spot vandalism is to go to Recent changes and look through the diffs for vandalism. Another is to check your watchlist frequently. A third is to check a vandal's contribs.
- If an entire article is vandalism, what should you do?
- A: If an entire article is vandalism, you should tag the article for speedy deletion under criteria G3 by using {{db-g3}} and then notify the author.
- Is making test edits considered vandalism?
- A: Making test edits are not considered vandalism because test edits are not made with the intent to disrupt Wikipedia; vandalism is.
