Wiki Admin Emeritus
Folks we've been the target of some rather determined spam attacks on our wiki. For the most part - tho not always - it seems that some idiot is getting their jollies writing a spambot that puts numerous junk links on our 'talk' pages
This is the unfortunate price of having a wide open system, as the Wiki is. I've been reverting (most times just wiping out) the junk on these pages and banning where I can; however I am going to be away this weekend on family business and won't be able to access a PC until late on Sunday, if then.
I'd appreciate it if a few of you would keep an eye on the Wiki (you can see the changes easily - simply click on 'recent changes' in the quicklinks on the left) and wipe any changes that appear to be junk. The IDs are immediately obvious - they tend to be a mix of random letters and numbers. I see that mwJones has been doing exactly this (Thanks!) but with just over 500 articles, one person can't do it alone.
I've written Lindsay to try to get a 2nd admin to help share the load but I think he's still on his well-deserved vacation. Until the 3.0 changes get installed, we will all need to be a bit vigilant for such actions.
73s and thanks....Mike
