I've turned a spellcheck bot loose on Pseudodoxia. I figure it's politer to do that than to replace user pages with goatse, or move articles around at random.
Sample results:
Page title: Chordate Corrected taxon to tax-on Corrected Subphylum to Sublet Corrected Tunicates to Tunics Corrected Lancelets to Lancets Corrected Hagfishes to Garfishes Corrected Coelacanths to Volcanoes Corrected Urochordate to Crochet Corrected notochord to blotched Corrected Cephalochordates to Schoolchild's Spellcheck successful
my computer freezes up when I try to load the main page on Psudo. other pages work ok.

It has been heavily vandalized.

And how! I don't read Hebrew or Latin; does anyone have a (rough) idea what it says?
There's an awful lot of it....

It appears to be the Adolf Hitler article from Hebrew Wikipedia.

Could someone maybe unvandalize it for a while? My browser crashes when I attempt to access the site and I was hoping to get at my user page there.

P.S. In case anyone missed it the discussion on User:Amalekite's ban is still going on at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Blocking_policy The page has gotten somewhat large.

Don't go to the main page.
Some kind souls have been cleaning user pages, either manually or with bots. The place is such a mess that it's not worth bothering with.
It would be interesting to see it turned into a Nazi Uncyclopedia though :)

Please do not do things like this. We're the good people. Let's never forget that.

I can't see how you can possibly hope to recover the moral high ground here without making a massive public apology to the Nazipedia folks.
Without wanting to offer the least scintilla of support for Nazis or their hateful views, they have seen their project vandalised, probably to a far greater extent than anything they ever wanted to do to Wikipedia. They have been handed an incentive and moral imperative to retaliate.
