:::::You can't be serious. You don't have to pay for and replace a broken window when you vandalize Wikipedia. All you have to do is click once on the rollback button, and it's all good again. Some of the comments on this thread sound like vandalism on Wikipedia should be a punishable crime. That's just absurd. --[[User:ContiE|Conti]]|[[User talk:ContiE|✉]] 23:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::HalfShadow: I refer you to my comment about the general public not taking Wikipedia seriously. Throwing bricks through windows is viewed as bad by the general public and the Wikipedia community. Vandalizing Wikipedia is viewed as bad by the Wikipedia community, ''but not the general public.'' [[User talk:Picaroon9288|Picaroon]] 23:54, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
::::::Why shouldn't
: Every second I have to waste cleaning after a 'comedic genius' is a second I could have spent accomplishing something. Regardless, effectively telling your class to 'bust up the joint' is hardly what I'd call proper behavior for a teacher.[[User:HalfShadow|HalfShadow]] 23:48, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
::::Halo: Hindsight is 20:20. Yours is a very good description of a better way to do have explained to the students what's wrong with using Wikipedia to write papers. Now, how do you suggest we get the message out? A disclaimed at the top of pages? An ad campaign. Those methods might or might not work. Preaching to the choir here about whats wrong with Tim's assignment will not work. [[User talk:Picaroon9288|Picaroon]] 23:54, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
▲::::::Why shouldn't it be? All that clicking takes a lot of people a lot of time. If we had just one button marked "roll back all vandalism" I'd agree, but we don't. Cheers, [[User talk:BenAveling|Ben Aveling]] 23:54, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
