Been a while since I did this... of course, since it's a 'State of...' thing, you'll have to imagine the blatant pandering and frequent unwarranted applause.
First: many, many thanks to Tjoneslo, the latest one to take up the banner of the Wiki Motivational Posters Project--and now, expand it, with categories for the most popular subjects (such as the Mr. Welch list) and links to other people's collections. (Especially since he's taking time away from his Traveller Wiki to help us...)
Second, we may have a handle on the autospam, in particular those big deletions we'd periodically get where someone would junk everything starting with an ampersand. About 3 weeks back I sent Shannon a potential solution, and I haven't seen those kind of edits since the 14th, so I suspect he implemented it. (Especially since Tjoneslo and I would be dealing with several a day before that...)
Third... well, I have to admit one thing: there's one page I haven't really been editing. The Big Book of Necromunda Gang Names (http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/The_Big_Book_of_Necromunda_Gang_Names). There's a few reasons... for one thing, it's sometimes hard to differentiate legitimate edits from random junk (since I know nothing about Necromunda). Second, as it stands it'd be almost impossible to get it to a proper state.
But the main reason is the edits themselves... some of them make me wonder about just what and who is putting stuff into this... some typical lines from the page as it currently stands (Warning, language):
Mostyn Mafia M.O.B MUSIC OVER BULLSHIT MARIJUNA OVER BITHCES! YOUNG CYSE STAY REPPEN WAT! ~/~[N]O_[F]A!R_[O]N£$~\~=[xNFOx]#1
[$haymadicz bloodraw killayz aka sbk] n e mothafuckaz think day can take on my niggaz cum on pussyies ass crackaz u mothafuckaz best lay down 4 we take u down 4 good bitchaz
The nigger killers(Rebirth of the K.K.K)fuck all the jigaboos
...odd. I'll admit it: I wonder if we get traffic from real gangs.
Can whoever started or is watching the Necromunda Gang Names list give us a definitive word on its status?
