I am unsure of an edit I am proposing for the article on Ian Walker (footballer) (a living person). Briefly, I think the article misunderstood the cited reference and am seeking a vote of confidence or veto for that from another editor, before making the change. I have outlined my concern and proposed change on the target article's talk page here: Talk:Ian Walker (footballer)#Cited source may have been misunderstood Furthermore, I don't even know if this is an accepted or acceptable use of the help-me template. So I'm in bad shape all around today, it seems. My lack of confidence is partly because this article is about a living person. Many thanks in advance from ChrisJBenson (talk) 13:02, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• I am seeking the brief assistance of an editor who has Edit Rollback authorization.
• I am not requesting this authorization for me.
• An article related to current breaking news (not yet broken!) has been repeatedly vandalized in the last few hours.
• The sequence of vandalism is well-suited to be reverted by just two rollbacks.

The vandalism target is

Nearly all of these edits can be easily identified as vandalism by the following:

(a) The cited source is identical and wrong in each case. The source is a BBC article published on 9 June 2009. The source was apparently retrieved on 9 June 2009 in all cases, though not used until today!. The BBC article is about Kaka, a valid 2009 entry that has been correctly listed here for years.

(b) The added vandalism entries are dated with the year 2013 (and one 2011), making them clearly out of chronological order. The last two valid entries were Kaka, then Christian Ronaldo in 2009, although a new entry will be added in the next 48 hours for Gareth Bale. The very last of these vandalism edits is the premature addition of Gareth Bale. It looks like the same vandal though, because the same 9 June 2009 BBC article is cited.

The vandalism seems to have abated. There were a small number of other vandalism edits in the last two days, but these have already been individually reverted.

The latest in twelve consecutive vandalism edits is: 570119902 at 5:22 25 August 2013
The earliest of the twelve vandalism edits is 570114635 at 4:27 25 August 2013
The last good edit before them was 569976671 at 3:23 24 August 2013 by Bladeboy1889.
