If you spend a short while looking through the history of the article, you can see that:

1. there has been all sorts of vandalism over the years;

2. Cluebot caught a lot of the vandalism within a minute of it being made;

3. It's well-watched and editors reverted the rest of the vandalism quite quickly;

4, There's no incident of vandalism (that I could see) that remained more than a couple of hours.

In other words, our system works. But that's not news.

Just for some context, it's been reported in the Liverpool Echo - http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/hillsborough-wikipedia-insults-added-government-7029881 and the Telegraph - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/wikipedia/10786380/Insulting-revisions-to-Wikipedia-entry-on-Hillsborough-made-from-Government-computers.html - so please be aware it's a live story for now. 

If you happen to receive any enquiries, please do feel free to send them my way.

Thanks and regards,

Just to alert anyone a journalist has been in touch regarding some reported vandalism to the article about the Hillsborough Disaster = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillsborough_disaster

We have explained how it is the community of editors who look after the content and that we have faith in the sound judgement of the community
