*AX SOFT>>>Wikipedia

Ok, i need someone who is an expert with wikepedia....?


ok well some stuff has been happening at my school, kids messin round on wikepedia.

And i noticed one of my teachers on my school page on wikepedia and he was looking at all the changed words that had been reverted on my school page. All the little silly words like '****' showed up in red and wikepedia had automatically changed it back to what it should have been.

is there anyway i could view these, i heard the teachers mumbling that it took them ages to find.

Thanks for any help!!

Okay, at the top of [nearly] every article is a bunch of tabs: "Article," "Discussion," [space] "Edit This Page," "History," "Move" [space] and "watch"

Firstly, let me say that it is always best to log in to Wikipedia your self (it's in the top right corner) so that any changes you make can be identified as you. Also, sometimes Wikipedia blocks the IP address of a school when people edit because of vandalism. This is bypassed if you are logged in, because they know it is you and not a vandal.

Click on the "History" tab. You will notice a list of all the changes made on that particular article. There are also two green "radio buttons," one on the left, and one on the right of different articles. What you want to do, is change the left radio button the the history part that you know was good (i.e. before possible vandalism) and select the right radio button on the article you want to compare it with. Then click on the button at the top saying "Compare Selected Versions".

This brings up all of the changes between the two, including words in red which have been changed from the original articles word.

I hope this helps.

Wikipedia is too bad. I always find big mistakes there. Try another place.
