It was indeed vandalism, but not enough to justify page protection. Semi-protection is usually reserved for articles that have been vandalized several times in a short period of time. – Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 20:20, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Hey friend. I'm not Juliancolton but I saw your question. Vandalism is any change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. This could be anything from replacing the page with "Tom is cool" to someone trying to insert false information and hoaxes. Hope that clears it up for you ;-). Happy editing ;-).-- Patton t/ c 20:22, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind words. I notice that you are new here; please feel free to ask any questions. As for the anonymous edits, you need not worry. Here on Wikipedia we try to assume good faith when possible and calmly point out policy violations when they happen. In this case, I would not consider it to be vandalism because the information added is not nonsense. However, there are very high standards for biographies of living persons, which I suggest you read up on for reference. Most notably, if any information is added without a reference, it is fully acceptable to remove the information at once. We can keep improving upon the article and if the anonymous person's edits continue to be disruptive, then we can seek further measures. ← Spidern → 15:41, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
