Can we add something related to the vandalism on Aaron Burr?

On March 14th, 2021. The Misplaced Pages article for Aaron Burr was vandalized by adding a reference to a piece of fan art depicting Thomas Jefferson wearing a chest binder depicting Hatsune Miku? — Preceding unsigned comment added by D0nk m3m3s (talk • contribs) 09:36, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Should meta:No_open_proxies be mentioned as a prevention measure?

When on VPN I get the meta:No open proxies message which blocks me from editing. Should this be added to the list of prevention measures?

Contingency plan for Established User or Administrator vandalism?

Should the article mention if there is any sort of contingnecy plan for "rogue" trusted users or administrators? I'm relatively new here but imagine the damage that could be caused by an administrator with full privileges vandalizing protected articles.

• No automated bot reversal.
• No ability for ordinary users to revert.
• No flagging by watchdog programs.

Is there some sort of protocol that would be followed in the case of administrator malfeasance or vandalism? If so this should be mentioned in the article. It might seem like an unlikely outcome but as we've seen on other platforms such as Reddit, admin meltdowns can happen and when they do it can become a very messy situation. I hope Misplaced Pages as thought this sort of thing through and has some sort of plan in place for it.

Add All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 to the miscellaneous section.

Due to people editing Gordon Freeman's death into the article in response to the web series Half Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware, it might get people to stop.
