Wikipedia "Iowa Caucus" entry HACKED!

[PerpetuallyDazed]

Someone put up Obama's picture with "Winner of Iowa Caucus" under it!

How do you report this?

1. It's a little premature; it will get reverted until it becomes true. (NT)

6. It's a scrolling image. Kind of tacky, if you ask me.

2. Welcome to DU, PerpetuallyDazed.

:hi: I'm sure there is a "report this" in wiki, but I really don't know.

9. Unless the article is protected by the administrators, *ANYONE* can revert the change.

There's no need to notify anyone, you can fix this
yourself.

4. It'll get knocked off of there...

Wikipedia has strict rules about what you can post...

7. That's not how you hack Wikipedia

Everybody knows you're supposed to add "Shakespeare was gay" to every entry.

Amateurs.

8. Or you can do what we once did and

add cheney's face to the Wikipedia page on "evil" with the caption "Evil in its purest form."

It didn't last very long and we got yelled at by the Wiki monitors, but I do have printouts in my office of our editing skills.
