In this case, I'm amazed saying "Australia is a republic" isn't
being counted as simple vandalism. Repeatedly putting in misleading
and plainly factually incorrect information certainly counted as
vandalism when User:Michael was going hogwild at it.
Tsk tsk, David. Respect the process. You must leave the erroneous
information in, and attempt to reason with the inserter on the Talk: page.
People who revert are simply thinking like an "edit warrior". I'm sure
the
postings on this list, including those from the person promoting the
"Australia is a republic" idea itself, have made it quite clear that a few
well-chosen words in Talk: will have the person promoting the idea that
"Australia is a republic" repudiating his views and voluntarily reverting
his contributions in no time at all.
Jay.
Actuakky what David was saying is if it's vandalism, just protecy the
page already, or block the vandal. Problem solved.
There is _never_ any need for a legit user to break the 3RR
