It's actually quite a personal thing that I've committed to doing, with good reason in my mind. I’ve used the Wikipedia for information for all sorts of subjects, getting some research for a history paper, or reading about some science topic or just generally reading for personal enjoyment. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing with the Wikipedia, but the information is sound and good and fun to read, and I’d hate for something like the Wikipedia to end up some day belonging to the vandals. One such vandal is actually someone I know, he finds it entertaining to come and remove a few articles from the website, in the past I’ve just sat there doing nothing as the WP:CVU members and their administrative members warned, reverted and banned or otherwise spent time making changes that in all honesty shouldn’t have to be made. We don’t live in a perfect world, and people will do things to hurt things (and the flow of information) perhaps for the wrong reason. I’ve felt that by doing nothing I was only hurting and I had a drive inside me to do something about it, and that’s why I’m on the CVU and my simple goal is to stop people like my lost friend.
