;Cautions and alternatives : ] by listing newbie tests as vandalism. Instead, ] and list them at ]. If you suspect an edit ''may'' be vandalism but are unsure, list the edit on ]. See ], ] and ] for content disputes. Page protection may be ]. Report ] at ].


The first page used for tracking vandalism was a user subpage, ], some time before 4 November 2001. The vandalism in progress page was established as VANDALISM IN PROGRESS - the title was upper-case to make it easily distinguishable on ]). Around the same time, the Misplaced Pages Militia (since renamed to the ]) was formed to coordinate responses to press releases about Misplaced Pages. The "VANDALISM IN PROGRESS" page was moved to the Misplaced Pages namespace in August 2002 and was renamed to the current title in 2006. Its archives since 2003 may be found in ] and the talk archives since august 2002 can be found in the history of ] and in text form as subpages of ]. Old subpages can also be found through ]. the ] page also grew out of "vandalism in progress". A section on the "vandalism in progress" page for persistent vandalism was added in ], later ], and then re-created as ] in September 2004; in December 2004 it was ] to ], titled ].

* {{vandal|Scott Morrow}} - IP (various)
:* Owner of anti-PJ website Corrupted-Justice.com has created an organized effort to take over Misplaced Pages Perverted-Justice.com article. This involves multiple users, but primarily is led by Scott Morrow, author of complaints such as the one below towards User XavierVE's attempts to rectify the malicious edits.
:* Removes link of "Corrupted-Justice.net", a website critical to his own. Exaggerates truth of his own website being "silenced" as it is, and always has been, listed as an external link, and has never been "edited out". He has also seen to it that several pro-PJ media articles have been removed from External Links and from within the body of the article.
:* Removes several entire paragraphs of positive content, factual information about police involvement, and other information that is non-complimentary to his own personal negative viewpoints on Perverted-Justice.com, totally violating NPOV
:* Morrow and his CJ.com staff are the sole authors of complaints against User: XavierVE, below. I believe that anyone fairly analyzing this situation should take into light both complaints towards the edits.
:* As a bystander to this fued, I believe that speculative personal information about Perverted-Justice.com's owner should be removed entirely, unless there is proof offered in the piece towards it's truthfulness. Likewise I believe the original author (]), who had a very unbiased piece and is not decidedly on either side of this debate, should restore the article and possibly even lock it from further editing.
:* Sooner than create an organized attempt to edit this Misplaced Pages entry towards any one party, the original author (]) should come back and create a version to be respected by both parties. If Scott Morrow still feels it is "biased" after that, he and his associates can create their own Misplaced Pages entry to air their own criticisms. Only in this situation may there be objective fairness, a solution you will not see Scott Morrow (below) suggest. Instead he ask that you ban XavierVE, thus rendering the fate of the Misplaced Pages article to people decidedly biased against Perverted-Justice.com with no vocal retort. This, I believe, is inexcusable. Please look into this situation and judge it fairly. (I will likewise report attempts to modify this Vandalism in Progress entry to remove my comments made here)

* {{vandal|XavierVE}} - IP 67.169.194.181
:* Same user as previous problems from January 8 - 67.169.194.181 - Now registered as "XavierVE"

:: Continuously removes reference to most vocal opponent, corrupted-justice.com from list of critics in "cons" section
:: Re-added multiple external links to PJ site after they were removed by Sysop
:: Continues to insert personal details (full names, etc) in various locations throughout article in direct violation of Misplaced Pages "No Personal Attacks" rule. ("Negative personal comments" and "threats or actions which expose other Misplaced Pages editors to political, religious or other persecution by government, their employer or any others.")

Old instructions for this page

Choose one of three sections to make a report: Watchlist, IP addresses, or Registered users. Follow the recommended format for each section including the heading markup. Place the request at the top of the New requests subsection or the top of the watchlist. Provide page diffs from edit histories if appropriate and links to specific problem pages.

History

The first page used for tracking vandalism was a user subpage, ManningBartlett/Naughty people, some time before 4 November 2001. The vandalism in progress page was established as VANDALISM IN PROGRESS on 1 December 2001 - the title was upper-case to make it easily distinguishable on recent changes). Around the same time, the Misplaced Pages Militia (since renamed to the Volunteer Fire Department) was formed to coordinate responses to press releases about Misplaced Pages. The "VANDALISM IN PROGRESS" page was moved to the Misplaced Pages namespace in August 2002 and was renamed to the current title in 2006. Its archives since 2003 may be found in Misplaced Pages:Requests for investigation/Archives and the talk archives since august 2002 can be found in the history of Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for investigation/Archive 4 and in text form as subpages of Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for investigation. Old subpages can also be found through special:Prefixindex/Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress. the long-term abuse page also grew out of "vandalism in progress". A section on the "vandalism in progress" page for persistent vandalism was added in February 2004, later abandoned, and then re-created as "Ongoing alerts" in September 2004; in December 2004 it was split off to its own page, titled Misplaced Pages:Vandalism in progress/Long term alerts.
