[Wikia-l] mass vandalism

[Radaghast Kary]

Hello again,

After more careful examination I found out it was done from two
accounts, here's another one with 1168 more edits:
http://ru.rpg.wikia.com/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F:Editcount/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%BE%D1%80_%D0%90%D1%80%D0%B1%D0%B5%D0%BD
and
http://ru.rpg.wikia.com/index.php?title=%D0%A1%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F:Contributions&limit=500&showall=0&target=%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%BE%D1%80+%D0%90%D1%80%D0%B1%D0%B5%D0%BD

…and another one, and another one.

If the magic button is on your side, my dear wikia staff, just look at
the edits that happened between 17:05 and 18:05 central European time
on 9 July 2009, or take the list of five guilty accounts from the list
of those I blocked today. Thanks in advance!

WBW, RK.
