Wikipedia:Page Blanking
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Page Blanking is an act where someone (usually a vandal) deletes stuff from Wikipedia articles (pages). You can get blocked (stopped from changing Wikipedia) or banned.
[edit] Example:
User xxx finds a page called "angry". He deletes the contents of the page. Someone needs information for a project (a school one) so they look on "angry" and find that there is NOTHING there!
