[Wikipedia-l] Wikipedia:Vandal bots

[Neil Harris]

This looks like something nasty waiting to happen (see the enclosed HTML 
page).

Note the apparently bogus user name, and the fact that the article title 
text does not match the link.
In addition, recent changes says that this was created from IP 
194.117.133.196 
<http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=194.117.133.196>, 

which is used by a couple of real users and a persistent vandal.

A nasty thought: is this a rehearsal for an automated attack?

Neil
