Thanks for sharing the link Harry. I'll pop a note to Dave Lee about the
typo now.

Vandalism, surely!
Stevie will be on to this but yes he handled this, as did others David,
Seddon etc, sensibly.
There was a time when this would be used to knock Wikipedia.
Fingers crossed this will calm down now but you never know.

Some more today on the BBC (and probably others):

It's currently on the BBC homepage with the description "The charity that
represents Wikipedia in the UK has condemned edits made from government
computers after more insults and vandalism emerged."
Looks like a good write up (factually accurate) with some choice quotes
from Stevie.

We have explained how it is the community of editors who look after the
