vandalism[edit]

Taken from the Wikipedia page on vandalism:

Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Even harmful edits that are not explicitly made in bad faith are not considered vandalism. For example, adding a personal opinion to an article once is not vandalism — it's just not helpful, and should be removed or restated. Not all vandalism is obvious, nor are all massive or controversial changes vandalism. Careful attention needs to be given to whether changes made are beneficial, detrimental but well intended, or outright vandalism.

So I ask you, oh wise one from Oxford, is a misguided decision to revert a redirect still considered tantamount to vandalism? It was an honest mistake and you saw fit to sling accusations of misdeeds. You'll never become an admin unless you learn how to take a lighter approach. Flatcurve (talk) 23:30, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
