Wookieepedia talk:Vandalism in progress

I am so pleased that this page was created so that something like the Supershadow purge of Nov 2 doesn't happen again. --Darth Mantus 20:40, 14 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * The alleged StupidShadow attack was a factor, but it was motivated more by Angela's comment on the Community Portal Talk page, where she seemed surprised we didn't have one. (And I call it the "alleged StupidShadow attack" because I still don't think StupidShadow is smart enough to commit a vandalism spree, even though a brain-damaged chimpanzee is smart enough to vandalize a wiki.) &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  01:45, 15 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Enforcement
Do the admins even look at this page? There are a lot of people that have done consistent vandalism, such as Hatheway, getting lots of alerts, but continuing their rampages for several weeks still. -- SFH 00:01, 28 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * We simply need more admins! KEJ 00:14, 28 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah, so no one does pay attention to me =Þ. Hatheway has been taken care of several times over and will be taken care of again in the future. To answer the original question, I have this page on my watchlist, and check it whenever there is a change and act appropriately. StarNeptune 01:37, 28 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * That's great, and that's why I think we need more people like you. KEJ 13:27, 28 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Clearing the backlog

 * There are currently a large number of old alerts, long since dealt with, still on the page and making it tougher to navigate than it needs to be. Should we have a method of clearing dealt-with problems from the page, either by archiving or outright deletion, to keep this page lean and easy to use? jSarek 21:42, 30 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * We should. How about making an archive for 2005, where we can move the current list after December 31? Alerts in the coming year could be moved to the 2006 archive after a week or so on this list. --Imp 01:35, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Move?
Should we move this to Vandalism alerts? Simply because WP:VIP sounds like something else entirely. --Azizlight 00:41, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Make another page for fanon alerts?
Fanon alerts are often reported here, and sometimes people reply with "that's not vandalism". Should we create Fanon alerts? --Azizlight 00:41, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Size
Should we consider a point at which we "rake" this page? It's going back several months, and seems to be getting rather long. -- SFH 17:43, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think much more than a week's worth of reports is very useful to the moderators, possibly even less; it's hardly "in progress" anymore after a few days. jSarek 21:14, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Make another page for edit wars and other disputes?
Not all vandalism reported on this page is vandalism. Some of the alerts are disputes over, say, if a certain class of capital ship was enormous or merely huge. In these cases, even the side that's completely wrong (if any) is often acting in good faith, trying to make the article more "accurate". Maybe those sorts of things should be put on a different dispute-resolution page, rather than putting it here with repeated shouts of "ignoramus", "idiot", etc.? Or would that be overcomplicating and overbureaucratizing things? &mdash; Silly Dan 18:18, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
