message: Not as much a vandal than a clueless newbie, this person as I write is posting unformatted substubs on individual episodes of "The Twilight Zone."  They're more like brief plot synopses than anything encyclopedic.  I've listed him on the "clueless newbies" page, but I'm concerned insofar as my attempts at contact have gone ignored which is why I've chosen to draw attention to the situation here.

Vandalized the article about Toulouse. Changed the name of the current mayor of Toulouse from Jean-Luc Moudenc into Jean-Luc Mouillette. Mouillette is the piece of bread used in France to dip into soft-boiled eggs, and can be understood as an insult (I've heard it applied to old people who can't help urinating). I have restablished the real name of the mayor, but the guy may strike again. 84.65.91.171 20:22, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
