April 2024[edit]

Thank you for removing the vandalism to that page that I reported so quickly. I hope the editor responsible will learn their lesson and not do so again. It is always shocking to find jokes, slander or obvious lies on a page and they must be fixed swiftly. What I still don't understand is that the edits to that page were a prolonged campaign over several days against one article. Nevertheless, it is good that such problems are quickly taken care of. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TanRabbitry (talk • contribs) 21:28, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
