Hi all. A few weeks ago Prof. Sven Ouzman (University of Western Australia) agreed to review a couple of articles within the scope of the project linked above. You can find his notes in a PDF uploaded to Commons. We'd like to thank Prof. Ouzman for his work and for his helpful notes. We invite everybody to feel free to reuse the review to improve the article and/or to comment it here. (We are considering a different review structure for the future and we will provide more formats to make copy/paste easier for editors, for example. We appreciate your understanding in this experimental phase!) Best, --Elitre (WPS) (talk) 00:00, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism, possibly malicious[edit]

...apologies about this, but somebody's written "I SMELL LIKE CAVE ART AND BUSHMANS" repeatedly into the preview window of this article. I'm not an expert on African history, unfortunately, and I'm massively incompetent at... just about anything, really. I don't entirely know how to revert the vandalism in question. I don't want to end up damaging the article in any way, so I've decided to post this here.

Is this just a rude form of vandalisation? Is this some sort of racial slur (Boer, perhaps?) that I'm just too unbelievably stupid to identify? Is it possible to repair the article? (I... sincerely hope there is.)

Apologies for disturbing you all, and thank you for reading this.

It's vandalism, but don't worry about it. Wikipedia is not only patrolled by its users but by bots which automatically rollback examples of vandalism such as this one. In fact, the vandalism was rolled back the very same minute but may linger in preview windows etc. for a while after. On a related note don't worry about damaging things! There's nothing you can break that can't be fixed easily. Francoisdjvr (talk) 08:43, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The vandalism is still showing up in the preview window for this article on October 29th 2019. At least it is when previewed from the Giraffe article.--63.228.126.122 (talk) 00:15, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why is talking about Vandalism not considered racist? 105.4.5.125 (talk) 17:40, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
