The very word "vandalism" I think is a somewhat false analogy, since there's no permanent damage in Wikipedia.
Actually, that's not true. The permanent damage is the loss of time. When I spend a minute bringing up an article, looking at a diff, checking history and contribs to see if there is more, that's a minute that I'm not adding facts or checking them, and that minute is gone forever.
Volunteers' time is our most precious resource - don't throw it away so casually.
