Spam cleanup policy

Any vandalism to the content of a page, including random gibberish, links to unrelated sites, and deletion of meaningful material, should be reverted or erased. Please check the history of a page to determine the last point at which the content was all valid and revert to that page by clicking on the page date in the page history, selecting edit, and saving your changes to over-write more recent edits. be sure to note what you are doing in the comments.

If you note an active spammer, please report that to the admin email above and check the history of the spammer's contribs to see if other pages have been damaged by that person or bot.

When the administration notes that a page is being attacked by spammers, that page and pages it links to (or that link to it) will be protected from anonymous editing. If spam has been posted by a registered account, that account will be deleted.
