Not sure how to handle...

05/21/08 While on Wikipedia today (American Idol site), I "paged back". The site was still there around the edges (logo, navigation, etc), but the page was blank. It was the message that bothered me. I looked for a place to report this, but I don't know where or how. I can't find anywhere on your site to report this, nor has it ever happened before. I was quite shocked. More so, I was alarmed that a young person might have seen this. I was online at work, which has a security/antivirus program.

Please advise if I am in the wrong place - and where to go if you can't help.

This is what was there: (The disturbing/vulgar messages.)

1) First one said:

i want to stick my finger in your vagina

2) Second one said: American Idol From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia • Ten things you may not know about images on Wikipedia •Jump to: navigation, search

someone is harassing this site whoever sees this next please start to fix it

This has never happened & I don't know how to report it. Can you help? DJjer (talk) 23:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)DJjer

Hey DJjer, welcome. That, unfortunately, was vandalism. It happens, especially on a high profile article like American Idol. It's usually fixed pretty quickly, but if you find some that hasn't been corrected yet, just click on the article's "history" tab and check the most recent edits. The last one is usually the culprit, but not always. If it's just one edit that's bad, just click on the "undo" button and that should undo the damage. You might also consider warning the person who made the edit. Take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 23:46, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
