Beating Vandalism

You know that feeling when somebody vandalises something that you like? You know, the feeling deep, deep under. Yeah that! Thats what I’m feeling right now and I’m not going to just let it die, no way. Nopes, no sir.

Before we get down to what I’m talking about here, let me just give you an outline as to what has been happening here. You know that public encyclopedia everybody calls Wikipedia? Well somebody has been vandalising a particular page on it, and thats pissing me off. Why you ask? Well, yeah its not my wiki, but hey, I’m a big ol’ Wikipedia fan, and I’m not going to let this vandalism continue.
When I went ahead to complain about the vandalism, the information in those pages leading up to the complaint page was so darn confusing that I left it mid way. Thats when i came up with a little game. Nothing much really. There are two sides here, the evil vandal krazy4u’s side and good ol’ not-so-evil my side. :)

After you pick sides, just register yourself at Wikipedia so its easy for everyone to keep track on the changes. Then, you start to watch. Krazy will usually take the lead with defacing the wiki. Its now your job to revert it. Not much of a task, but it does help keep the wiki clean, and thats what this game is all about, how you can help Wikipedia when its helped you so much!

You can track the progress of the game from this page and you can also look at what others are saying about the game from this thread on the CHIP-India forum. happy gaming!
