Adding "idiot" in the lead section describing him is certainly vandalism.
Infact the surprising and best thing was the anon vandalism was reverted by
IP editors. I requested a 2 day semi protection since it might be highly
accessed page and there might be more vandals around. Tinu went ahead and
gave it 1 week semi protection. :)

No, Please add to the controversy subsection and improve it with proper
references, those will not be vandalism. But one needs to be autoconfirmed
user to edit this week. More reasons to create an account and start editing
:)
