If you spend a short while looking through the history of the article, you
can see that:
1. there has been all sorts of vandalism over the years;
2. Cluebot caught a lot of the vandalism within a minute of it being made;
3. It's well-watched and editors reverted the rest of the vandalism quite
quickly;
4, There's no incident of vandalism (that I could see) that remained more
than a couple of hours.
In other words, our system works. But that's not news.

We have explained how it is the community of editors who look after the
content and that we have faith in the sound judgement of the community
