Here's a perfect example of a vandalism edit (well, an experiment) that
should be greeted with a welcome and an invitation to contribute usefully to
Wikipedia.

Unlike all the Wikipedians on this list and on Wikipedia who advocate
allowing editors to vandalize Wikipedia multiple times and claim they are
far preferred Wikipedia editors than the old established trash, I also
welcomed the editor to Wikipedia.
