re 16 and Pregnant

Hi Amy. Now what's going on with 16 and Pregnant? Does it need to be protected from editing? Herostratus (talk) 05:52, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, there have been two users (maybe more) vandalizing Leah Messer's and Jenelle Evan's summaries. Posting very horrible things. The IP address that was abusing it was 71.233.82.25 and Master22.. You can see this in the VIEW HISTORY section. I have been trying to do as many edits hopeing they would get lost and stop. My IP is 173.81.108.198 and AmyLaDawn. They were posting things about abortion on Jenelles and that Leah was incest and that her baby has Down Syndrome on hers. I find this disturbing and as Leahs friend I have been trying to get it stopped but I am unfamiliar with WIKIPEDIA as I only came here when someone asked me to check the VANDALISM out. Please put a protection on it. As far as I know I have it all back to the way it was orignially, Ive been trying very hard. Thanks so much for writing me. AmyLaDawn (talk) 06:06, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

OK. I have protected the page from editing by anonymous users for six hours. We will go after the vandals and warn them, and block them if necessary. Thank you for your help! Herostratus (talk) 06:26, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks so much. I will contact you if I see it happening anymore and I will send you the IP or ID for the user who does it. :) Thanks again. AmyLaDawn (talk) 06:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

ATTENTION 16 and Pregnant

I just checked the page and the VANDAL has been back, I undid the EDIT they made but I wasn't logged in so it shows my IP address not my username "AmyLaDawn" Please put a protection on this site permanently. Thanks so much. AmyLaDawn (talk) 13:23, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes he came back. I have blocked him for 24 hours. I have also partially protected the page for three days. We are reluctant to commit to longer blocks and protections as we don't want to prevent legitimate editors from editing. If there continues to be a problem we will use permanent blocks and/or longer protections. Thank you for watching this page and helping the Wikipedia stay accurate. You yourself may warn vandals by placing messages on their talk pages, see Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace; see also Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.

Thanks so much for all your help and I understand about the blocks preventing legitimate edits , its just getting ridiculous and its aggravating to me and also others who care about the girls who have been attacked. But thanks again, you have been very helpful. AmyLaDawn (talk) 13:42, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
