Wikipedia:Search for vandalism
The search for vandalism (SFV) is an attempt to find and remove vandalism and inappropriate content from articles. While the recent changes patrol will revert many of these changes there are some that will get through and can last for weeks or months - this page details methods of finding such content.
Method
There are different words and phrases that would rarely be included in the professional text. While some such content will be acceptable, particularly within quotes from external sources, the list below has been created to help remove inappropriate comments. Periodically checking the links below will help to remove any inappropriate content that has slipped through recent change patrol.
Note: There will be many false positives in a lot of these searches.
