Interesting Wikipedia-Vandalism

Saturday, July 8. 2006

Usually, vandalism in Wikipedia is rather annoying. People thinking that they're funny try to insert tiny stupid changes or other nonsense into wikipedia articles, thinking that nobody will notice. But watchlists, the recent changes page and differential article views usually uncover them pretty quick.	Normalerweise ist Vanalismus in Wikipedia eher laestig. Einige Leute, die sich fuer lustig halten, denken dass es lustig sei, kleine dumme Aenderungen oder sonstigen Unsinn in Wikipedia-Artikel einzufuegen und denken, dass es niemand merkt. Aber Beobachtungslisten, die letzte Aenderungen-Seite und Artikelversions-Unterschieds-Sichten decken diese normalerweise recht schnell auf.
As the article about my old school, the Theodor Heuss Gymnasium Schopfheim, was vandalized last week, I was rather happy for being notified about something I wasn't aware of. The change was the following:	Als der Artikel ueber meine alte Schule, das Theodor-Heuss-Gymnasium Schopfheim letztens vandaliert wurde, war ich eher froh, ueber etwas benachrichtigt zu werden, das ich nicht wusste. Die Aenderung war folgende:
"After this year's graduating class didn't censor their yearbook, there was an outcry inside among the teachers about the "unfair" treatment. Therefore we escpecially want to apologize to Ms. Scheibert, Ms. Olbert and Mr. Mezger and take back our ratings for competence (wow you guys are quick)
Inside the yearbook, the graduating class' teachers were rated for competence, attractiveness, fairness, authority and entertainment-factor. Apparently, some teachers scored very poor and were upset about this. Instead, they suggested that students should discuss their problems with teachers instantly, not afterwards. Yeah, right! I imagine myself going to my teachers - there would have been several candidates, telling them that they are completely clueless about their subject, suggesting them that they go back to college to study their subject properly. We also prefered keeping our heads down that time, though we didn't place so harsh criticism in our yearbook.	In der Abizeitung wurden die Lehrer der Abschlussklasse nach Kompetenz, Attraktivitaet, Fairness, Autoritaet und Unterhaltungsfaktor bewertet. Anscheinend schnitten einige Lehrer sehr schlecht ab und waren darueber sehr aufgebracht. Stattdessen, so schlugen sie vor, sollten Schueler ihre Probleme sofort und nicht im Nachhinein diskutieren. Ja, klar! Ich stelle mir gerade vor, wie ich zu meinen Lehrern gehe - da haette es ein paar Kandidaten gegeben - und ihnen erzaehle, das sie null Ahnung ueber ihr Fach haben und ihnen vorschlage, dass sie zurueck auf die Uni gehen, um ihr Fach ordentlich zu studieren. Wir haben damals auch unsere Koepfe eingezogen, auch wenn wir nicht so harte Kritik in unserer Abizeitung hatten.
