That's a problem inherent in allowing anonymous edits, I suppose. My
suggestion about common whitelists and also some kind of edit
validation would make this work in general. Add semi-protection to
most-vandalised articles and I think the strain of RC patrol would be
considerably cut.
semic protection makes things worse because you lose the fly paper
effect. Consider:
Vandalotices edit tag for the first time. Hits whatever low profile
article they happen to be on.
Thinks cools what else shall I hit. I know GWB
Vandal hits GWB gets noticed and previous vandalism gets picked up at
the same time.
