------------------------ This seems like an overemphasis that somehow we (the policy-abiding editors) are the cause instead of the vandals being the cause. The primary cause of the vandalism rests with the vandals. Our policies address this case spot-on, but nobody fixed the article. Why didn't they? Maybe we need more editors. Maybe we need an automatic "bad-word robot" to collect examples and create a "bad word page". That would make it a lot easier to monitor. But this case is not a result of our policies, our policies say "don't do this".
