Just so you all know, pages can be rolled back and have been. There's no need to copy from a cached. But thanks.

Maybe I'm missing something, but there are a number of pages that are still in a destroyed state:

Zatanna
Poison Ivy
Starfire
Wonder Girl
Supergirl And I'm sure there are more out there. Please advise.

No. F*ck... I'm guessing I'll be wikiing then.

did you read G-Man's post that you quoted?

But I thought these were the ones that they weren't able to renew? That's what I assumed, since Jetshade commented afte---

Nevermind. Having a stupid moment, just ignore me =P

Better check those pages again. I know for a fact Supergirls hasn't been fixed.

@aztek_the_lost: G-Man's posts says pages can be rolled back and have been, Az. I was just saying. Oh never mind.

can we keep the points for lulz?

It looks like Zatanna is going to have to be completely rebuilt. I've tried accessing the cached version, but it's already been updated.

I got bounty points
*grin*

No reason for anyone to do any editing, just compile a list of which pages are still messed up so that staff will know which ones still need to be fixed.

@Billy Batson: this is a thread full of anxious people, some of whom have a lot of power, probably not a good time to be up to your usual trolling antics, eh?

shush now!

I love how Az puts a * and then explains the star at the bottom of the post.

I think I've already found this idiot on other websites with his Beware the Doctor MO, and I also think I've stumbled onto an old profile page of his. But I will not say where I found this guy on here because I know he's reading this and getting his jollies off on causing pointless mayhem on a few websites to feed his pathetic lifestyle.

@aztek_the_lost:

I'm sure no one doesn't mind.

@MTHarman: Just pm aztek and he will investigate properly.

I'm still looking and eventually I should find his profile on here, or probably one of them if he can get away with it, and I'll PM Aztec with something legit.

They hit Supergirl =( There are more pages then just the ones on the wikitasks. Looks like this is going to take quite a while to find and fix =(

Sorry, I ran out of time last night to finish creating all the tasks. Now the vandals page has been deleted, so I can't FIND the vandalised pages to set tasks.

You don't have to though, if you tell aztek the old profile name he can look at the ip address used to access it and then he can match the ip with the users current profile and any other alts (as long as his ip hasn't changed) and then he can ban the user and mark the accounts for deletion and probably ban the ip so the user can't create any other accounts.

Well everything that I found and will find that strongly points to our beloved vandalizer. I'll send it his way.

@aztek_the_lost: Apologies for the suggestion. At the time your pages had a stub requesting users rework the pages that had been deleted. They weren't done yet, and the census seemed that rewriting/redoing all of the work would be troublesome. In the meantime, as I said earlier, statistical analysis sites show a few of those pages as your top most visited daily pages, Batman's bio being the number one most daily visited page on this by online users next to the front page of the site, and it's colored hotspots/the parts people focus on being the information in the bio. It stood to reason in my mind that the longer a page as such sat there with nothing on it, the more ridiculed CV would become, as well as lose traffic and potential new users. It seemed good as a patch in any case and a faster method for persons to answer the request to have pages worked on. Even if your doing rollbacks (sounds so WalMart, lol), in any case better looking and more substantial patches have been applied in the meantime until then rather then a blank Beware The Doctor page? Sorry again, I was just trying to help and propose a tangible solution in case this happens in the future.

* adding my PM here since I'm certain I'll be quoted later, and I have a busy day offline:

I don't think anyone waited due to you guys having current and pending requests on the table to fix said pages, and the duration of time the pages sat still vandalized. No offense but their was a miscommunication element in play there were users wouldn't know to wait, and or be encouraged that now was the time to start working on the pages of their own accord. As well again your sites daily traffic is dependent on some of those pages first, as is this sites reputation for the most accurate comic bios on the web (your quoted in site review for this)(to add more illumination, the Batman bio again get's thousands of visitor views on a daily basis according to Web Stats on your site). I hope that whatever was done didn't upset the applied yours have in mind, and if so then again I'm sorry, and I wasn't aware.

Who took the time to get enough wiki points that they had live edit and then did this? Maybe Anonymous has attacked CV...

No, Anonymous wouldn't use the phrase "Beware the Doctor" which is actually from Call of Duty Black Ops. I bet my money that our beloved vandal is from Giant Bomb.

This is clearly a conspiracy. The people with the pages "cached" are the vandals, and they just wanted an easy way to get points!

So your little clan is called "google," is it? You dun goof'd now! Just wait until the cyber police come, they will put cyber handcuffs on you and you will have a cyber roommate named Bubba, and he might think you are cute!

I love how I'm in here trying to figure this out when I'm a mod and could easily find out...dumbass me.

I'm glad the staff has started to take care of this. If I run across anymore vandalized pages would you like me to send them through to you?

@Raiiyn: Please.

What did we ever do to Giantbomb?

Nothing,.... it's just that our little vandal is a huge fan of the Nazi villain known as Dr Edward Richtofen from Call Of Duty Black Ops.

I don't want to give him any ideas but I hope his stays away from my submissions.

Well I may have found him, checkout the user known as DoctorEd, so far it seems that he holds recent history of 1 point approvals for the characters that are being vandalized.

can we have a good old fashion lynching? ^_^

I doubt it seeing how I can't get on this guys profile page.

Apparently we found out who did it days ago.I was late finding out because I don't deal with the wiki.

I'm just curious,....was I right?
