I see what the OP is referring to :eek:

ElRazur · 9 Jan 2007 at 19:59

Some one care to explain what am missing? :confused:

Was reverted very quickly, but given his OcUK post was one minute before the offensive change in Wikipedia I’m extremely unhappy.

-points finger at and labels with unsubstantiated blame-

For those a bit lost the page had been edited clean and two words were all that remained, the first being “English” the second being an expletive.

Sounds like some mindless vandalism

Happens all the time. Nothing to see here, move along...

All I can see that might be slightly funny or rude is. "erected c.2000-2500BC."

I can't see the problem tbh.

Edit. Just read the rest of the thread

Before I read the rest of this I thought the shocking thing was that our motto is French. :/

Motto: Dieu et mon droit
(French for "God and my right")

Good grief people... Wikipedia gets vandalised every day. It barely lasts a refresh.

rossyl · 9 Jan 2007 at 20:28

really...sorry i didn't know.

So anyone can just delete and add and it gets immediately put on? I thought there would be some admin.
