First off, Carol, you are the one who posted who you were. At the time we were looking, your identity was not known. What I wrote about was an IP. You made it known that was your IP. I then corrected what I wrote about an IP.

Jeri,

For some reason you are choosing not to listen to what Joe and Mick are saying. Its making you look pretty foolish because they are making a lot of sense. You obviously have some axe to grind with Carol. I'm sure that you would like to catch he in some terrible act but all she did in this case was delete a comment aim at you and her and most other women on this forum.

Shall we stand around and beat each other over the head for things we didn't do? Or should we just politely ask the JoeClones to keep a casual eye on Wiki from time to time and go on to important things?

Since the official Mudcat sport is to slime me from time to time with this kind of bullshit, don't expect it to stop any time soon.

This peer continues to hold Carol in High esteem, and finds her writing style infinitely superior to that of the wiki-troll.

Folks, get your last words in, as I am about to close this thread. Clearly we had one of our long term trolls up to no-good, they are getting a kick out of watching us cannibalize ourselves, and mistakes were made in tracking it down. I am going to give it another 5 minutes of discussion time and then shut it down.
Thanks.

I'll see whether that permanent link pointed out by Jeri can be removed. I also made a permanent link to the current and correct version of the site, in case of future vandalism. Probably because the article is so new, the vandalism was not dealt with as swiftly as I would have hoped for.

If you register with Wikipedia you can add the article to your watchlist, and monitor it every time you into Wikipedia.

When looking at the history of a page, if one sees this at the top...

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Bozo the Clown(Talk) at 12:00, 25 December 2008. It may differ significantly from the current revision.

What this means is that the version one is looking at is the most recent version and that the person named is the one who made the most recent edit.

In order to see what that edit was, it is necessary to look at the actual edit. So for instance, Crusty the Clown might have made an edit to a page (lets say the Circus Clown page), in which Crusty accuses Bozo of having an affair with Beppo the Clown, and also saying that Chuckles the Clown put itch powder in Beppo's face cream. Bozo might see that and decide that he wants to remove the reference pertaining to himself, but leave in the reference to Chuckles (because Bozo knows that Chuckles can remove that reference himself).

What happens then, is that anyone who looks at the history will see that the most recent change was made by Bozo, and they will see the reference made by Crusty about Chuckles. It might be easy to conclude that Bozo was the one who added the bit about Chuckles, but that would be an incorrect conclusion.
