  • 2000s One-hit wonders in the United States (edit|talk|history|protect|links|watch|logs) -- anon repeatedly removes entries, and occasionally blanks the list. The criteria for inclusion is clearly stated on the page, and I have repeatedly asked for discussion on the talk page and on the talk pages of the various IP addresses, but I have received no response other than continued vandalism. I attempted a vprotect, but after the week the vandalism continued. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:20, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Tony Mokbel (edit|talk|history|protect|links|watch|logs) -- This page is the consistent target of a vandal that is using multiple IP addresses(probably using a Proxy server, or IP masking) to delete a real image of Mokbel(shown a wig on, after he was arrested in Greece) and insert his own image instead.

Famous quotes containing the word specific:

    The more specific idea of evolution now reached is—a change from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, accompanying the dissipation of motion and integration of matter.
    Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
