Vandalism is the intentional destruction of someone's property.
Y Though relating to Wikipedia would be much better!
List 3 situations where an edit which could be considered vandalism, may not actually be vandalism.
Someone makes an edit with the intention that the edit is constructive in some way to the encyclopedia-building project.
Someone deletes a seemingly useless post on someone else's talk page in order to clean up the talk page.
Someone engages in an edit war, thinking that he holds the correct opinion on the subject, while simultaneously, the other editor feels exactly the same way about his opinion on the subject. The edit war continues, because neither party are willing to discuss on the talk page, and both parties are editing the page incessantly. If one or both partners are IP addresses, then they are largely suspect of committing vandalism on the article.
Y 1 is about 50 - 50 while 2 and 3 are more or less correct here.
What are obvious indicators of a vandalism edit while watching recent changes?
