Umm... what the hell, I have not vandilized any articles nor know of anyone else in my household who even goes on wikipedia. It could be because we have a wireless interet conection and someone is stealing it or something and i have no idea what else to do or where else to complain.

I don't log in to Misplaced Pages frequently enough to do this justice, so I thought I'd throw this out there in case someone else cares to. ] appears to be getting targeted by an IP-address vandal for "silly" (and tasteless/offensive, IMO) vandalism. Multiple edits have needed to be reverted in the past month. The last incident had "revert obvious vandalism" as the edit summary, muddying the water. |

I don't log in to Misplaced Pages frequently enough to do this justice, so I thought I'd throw this out there in case someone else cares to. Zombo (singer) appears to be getting targeted by an IP-address vandal for "silly" (and tasteless/offensive, IMO) vandalism. Multiple edits have needed to be reverted in the past month. The last incident had "revert obvious vandalism" as the edit summary, muddying the water.
