Continuing off-topic:

It's vandalism. I just did an hour of procrastinatory cyberstalking, it's the work of a high schooler in Ohio. Probably vandalizing articles they read for class.

Speculation: if not just out of frustration, perhaps sabotage against classmates reading later? Is that a thing now?

Last good revision:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Scientific_managem...



While working as a teacher I came to the conclusion that links to wikipedia should in most cases include a known good revision number in the url.


That's actually a great idea. Wonder if this can/should be made more well-known through the wiki software?

For example, maybe all Wiki article paths should redirect to a specific version? E.g. if I go to "wiki/tree" I'll get "wiki/tree/1101" which is the version number. Then, every page can have a message at the top saying "to get to the latest revision, click here". (Just an off-the-top-of-my-head idea of how to do this).
