What a pathetic admission of defeat. If you can't monitor even a hundred articles a day against someone wanting to insert an image of a penis into them, EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE A LIST OF THOSE ARTICLES IN ADVANCE, then what fucking use are you?The English Wikipedia Main Page is very rich and dense with links to the content of the encyclopedia. There are a lot of positive things to say about this, but there is also this situation-related negative: at any given time, there are over 100 high-viewership main page article targets for vandals (including this vandal) to attack. One of the ways to mitigate harm from these types of compromises and vandalism attacks is to reduce the number of high-value targets. Obviously, any consideration of changing the way the Main Page operates will take extensive community discussion and consideration, and potential for disruptive vandalism that has the ability to harm the reputation of the project is only one factor.
I could solve that problem in half a day. As could any half decent programmer. Are they all busy doing other things right now? Or are they just thick as mince?

An enterprising user trying their best to combat vandals in a big way. Told to sit down, shut up, and respect the wisdom and authoritah of the Wikipedia Administrators, and their lickspittle followers.
Who wrote that white flag of a report? A Wikipedia Administrator. Who ran around crying their eyes out and panicking while this vandal attacked again and again? Their lickspittle followers.
