Dear Wikimedia Countervandalism Network,

Subject: You Should Have a Wikipedia Page
Hello Edward,
My name is Saad Anwar. I am a freelance writer and I write Wikipedia
pages for academics and researchers. In a quick Google search of your
name, I discovered that you do not have a Wikipedia page.
Would you like to have a Wikipedia page? If yes, then I can help you.
Having written Wikipedia pages for over 400 individuals, I can write an
excellent page for you. For your safety and assurance, there will be NO
upfront payment required. You only have to pay AFTER the work is
complete and you are happy with it.
Academics who have accomplished much less have Wikipedia pages because
they have got them made. It's time you get one too. Just send me a
message and I will forward you the cost and time frame details for
writing your Wikipedia page.
Best,
Saad Anwar
I'm subscribing in hopes that someone can please help me understand why the
world hates me. Everyone but me knows what's going on with my life. Why?
What was on the sd card that got me into this? What did I do to anyone to
deserve all this? All I want is answers I'm tired of not knowing but
everyone else does
Dear Wikipedians of CVN,
If you are interested in keeping Wikipedia protected from vandalism, we
would like to invite you to try (http://battlefield.wikiloop.org) WikiLoop
Battlefield (yes this name *shall be changed see notes**), The tool is a
web-based open sourced tool so you don't need to install nor require a
rollback permission, when you find a vandalism, it will allow you to go to
the Wikipedia page to revert it by hand.
Let me know if you have any feedback:
- on wiki: [[WP:WLBF]] for features and content.
- on github for software bugs

Hi CVN folk, <cvn(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Summary:
Most of the countervandalism.net content is outdated, or already
hard-redirects to MetaWiki.
I've made a list of the remaining pages, and hope to merge and redirect
those to MetaWiki, over the next few weeks.
https://countervandalism.net/wiki/CVN_wiki_cleanup
Request:
* There are 7 Questions in the cleanup notes. Please help to answer those,
or add your own questions/comments.
Once the useful content is all located at meta/wikitech, I suggest locking
(or similar) countervandalism.net, so that old bookmarks will still
work/redirect, and edit history attribution is accessible, but people
aren't confused by outdated info and instructions.
Note: I am a newcomer to most of this, so apologies (and let me know) if
I've missed something obvious, but hopefully my fresh eyes can help clean
up some dusty and confusing corners. :-)

Hello all,
Please DO NOT click the link and input any information in regards to the last digest. That is NOT Amazon, and is a scam (hopefully you all know this).
Thanks,
