Re: I am a teacher in California

Re your message: Please do not vandalize Wikipedia in order to prove your point to your students. As a teacher, you should know better than to vandalize a source that may be unreliable. You don't have your students vandalize out of date encyclopedias or books in your library, do you? Instead, just teach them that Wikipedia may not be the best source for your students to use as an only source. See Wikipedia:Researching with Wikipedia and Wikipedia:Academic use. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Also, you COULD just search around looking for examples of edits to prove your point. We unfortunately have many vandals here that you could use as an example. Here's one case: [1]. -WarthogDemon 05:27, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

If I may add something here, what you're doing is disrupting wikipedia to make a point, which is not allowed. If you're looking for examples of vandalism to show your class, you can go to the history of almost any page and find examples that have been reverted.

For example, go here and check out the last sentence under "Personal Life." [2] That's obviously something you can't use in a research paper.

Take care! Redrocket (talk) 05:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
