I would really
like everyone to stop throwing around the word
"vandalism" except in the narrowly-described cases of:
* scribbling graffiti, like "Hi, I'm a newbie"
* deleting a page without explanation
* obvious obscenity
"Hi, I'm a newbie" is not vandalism. It's a newbie experiment. OTOH
IMHO,
repeatedly changing Athens to Istanbul in [[Greece]] is vandalism, though it
is none of the above.

You're right. I stand corrected.
Let's not even brand newbies who experiment with little bits of graffiti as
"vandals". They're just pushing the buttons to see if they work.
We ought to make a concerted effort to encourage newbies to stick around and learn our
ways. Any ideas?
