"I call this Revolution 2.0. Revolution 2.0 is, is — I say that our revolution is like Wikipedia, OK? Everyone is contributing content. You don't know the names of the people contributing the content ... This is exactly what happened... Everyone was contributing small pieces, bits and pieces. We drew this whole picture. We drew this whole picture of a revolution. And that picture — no one is the hero in that picture." --Activist Wael Ghonim on the peaceful protests in Egypt that lead to the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak.

"What are we going to do tonight, Brain? Same thing we do every night, Pinky, try and take over the world." --Pinky and the Brain

Understanding the Vandal-fighting web

1. Edit filter (automatic pattern rejection) 2. CBNG (machine-learning artificial neural network bot) 3. Huggle, Igloo, Lupin's filtered list (human assisted regex/badwords) 4. STiki (cbng residual feed, missed vandalism, subtle vandalism--human assisted metadata and pattern based review) 5. Article watchlists, selective page and topic monitoring by users 6. Pending changes, live version delay, reviewed by autoconfirmed users 7. Semi-protection, prevents non-autoconfirmed users from editing 8. Full protection, prevents non-admins from editing 9. Random readers, scores of individuals who fix errors when they come upon them 10. Official readers, journalists and subjects of articles who report mistakes in the news (not good!)
