  • WP:VANDWAR

    • The Counter-Vandalism Unit (CVU) is a Wikipedia project whose aim is to help detect and remove vandalism on Wikipedia by using tools and experience, and to provide advice on dealing with vandals. All members of the Wikipedia community can revert vandalism at any time. Active vandalism patrollers who join this project will receive occasional newsletters with information on training, software updates, and new or modified policies and guidelines.

    Some active members have volunteered to train other editors in countering vandalism. If you would like to learn more about the process or if you think you would like to train others, please see the Counter-Vandalism Academy.


    Goals

    edit

    Our goals are:

    1. Protect Wikipedia from disruption.
    2. React to vandalism in progress.
    3. Inform active counter-vandalism users on updates and new software.
    4. Train new counter-vandals.
    5. Study the effects of vandalism on the encyclopedia.

    Help

    edit

    How to help:

    1. Identify that an edit qualifies as vandalism.
    2. Restore the page to the last non-vandalized version.
    3. Inform the editor that the edits were perceived as vandalism.
    4. Report the editor if vandalism persists.

    Associates

    edit

    		New Pages Patrol — review New Pages to detect copyright violations, vandalism, attack pages, hoaxes and spam, making minor improvements, and listing inappropriate pages for deletion.
    		ClueBot NG — a bot that uses a vandalism-detection algorithm to automatically revert most vandalism.
    		Recent Changes Patrol — users who regularly patrol Recent Changes in real time and, among other things, remove vandalism.
    		Counter Vandalism Network (CVN) — recent changes broadcasted live on IRC channel #cvn-wp-en connect with information on how likely the edit is to be vandalism.

    Recognition

    The Gold CVU Award The Gold CVU Award
