Like it.
Welcome Mat Project (the vast amount of vandalism is newbie-ish--enfolding handling vandalism into the concept of welcoming new users makes sense to me. I.e. there are no strangers, just friends we haven't met (and indoctrinated).)
Yeah...but...there are real vandals after all.
(OT: There aren't barbarian hordes riding in from the North to ravage the Empire. The worst anyone can do with Wikipedia, really, is piss people off for a while (which I recognize is not meaningless). But it's not physical property destruction or personal physical harm.)
Ironically positive: Care Bear Brigade (I know this was discussed and negged earlier, but it's hilarious.)
Too cryptic.
Again, [[Wikipedia:Cleaning up vandalism]]. Simple. descriptive. Non us/them. And it's already on the works
Didn't see this. It's perfect.
I prefer names that don't give credit to vandalism -- I mean, there's going to be a segment of people that are excited about committing crimes of annoyance in the world. If you clean up stuff without crediting it as a crime, it makes it easier to deal with.
Further, as I've said before, I think *positive* rather than negative names are healthier.
Pre-natal care and kindergarten preferable to juvenile detention preferable to prisons.
So although I'll continue to advocate names that don't include the word vandalism, I'd certainly support any compromise....
