Android Wiki:Vandalism

Vandalism is defined as "a usually deliberate attempt to damage the usefulness of content for other viewers." This page describes Android Wiki's Vandalism policy.

Definition
Vandalism is an attempt to damage the ability of the viewers to gain legitimate meaning from the text. That could be through spamming the page, through inserting random gibberish, or by condensing an article to one viewpoint. An example of a random gibberish edit would be the edit here on the right.

Response
Please do not respond to the vandal in anger. If it is a single-viewpoint edit, please ask them to provide sources and put it in a different section of the article. Otherwise, just revert it. If this is the second or third time that this vandalism has occurred, leave them a warning, but still assume good faith. If the user does not heed the warning, please ask an admin to block them. The block will be for the shortest time possible, but if the user keeps vandalizing, then the block will be extended. If IP addresses are continually vandalizing one or two articles, the other solution is to ask an admin to protect the articles for a while.

Alteration
If you think that this text needs altering, please state that on the talk page. A discussion will be had, and then the page will be changed if a majority of Android Wiki members agree with the change.
