To add to SpartHawg's post:

People should also be aware that if we have pages that are being specifically targeted by vandals -- probably high profile pages since the ME2 releases, like the quarian and Tali articles -- we will unfortunately have to protect them. That will not stop vandalism, but will hopefully discourage the roaming "IP vandals" we have seen recently.

This is a very busy time for us with all the new ME2 information coming in and new editors joining. I hugely appreciate the corrective measures other responsible editors have taken, because we simply do not have time to devote to fixing this stuff. Our patience for people who enjoy erasing an entire page of people's hard work, or scattering random vulgarities (apparently unaware that Recent Changes shows this stuff up like a beacon) has now run out.

We are the third result for Googling "mass effect"; therefore as ME2's profile increases, so does ours, and regrettably, wikis are catnip to idiots. This is the best solution we can come up with at the moment.
