This is mildly interesting - but I'm not sure why we have it. Are they perhaps involved in some conspiracy theories or something of that nature?--BobSpring is sprung! 18:07, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

It's the NSA, of course they'll be involved in something. But the instant we find out what it is, Trent will die horribly in mysterious but entirely plausible, natural, and non-suspicious circumstances. Scarlet A.pnggnostic 18:12, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
The article was there already; I have some knowledge of the place, so I decided to improve it. MDB (talk) 18:13, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
I understand that MDB. It's not a criticism of you.  :-) I was just wondering why we have it. I guess there is some mission relevant stuff which could be added - I just don't see any or know of any.--BobSpring is sprung! 18:16, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
I must say that a google search on "NSA conspiracy" (without quotes) gets an impressive number of hits.--BobSpring is sprung! 18:19, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

[edit] hide yo email hide yo waifi- NAY! protect this article

I'm getting sick of the damn vandalism, partly bcuz it's the same every time. Can we protect this article, pretty pls? Rand0 (talk) 07:06, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

If there is an identifiable word pattern, you can suggest a new abuse filter rule at the Technical support page.--ZooGuard (talk) 09:58, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Just add an edit filter for unconfirmed/patrolled editors using the word "waifu". WéáśéĺóíďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 11:15, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Or block any IP that resolves to a location inside the M25. BAM! Problem solved. On second thought, that doesn't cast a wide enough net. Also block all the berks in Berkshire. But not Somerset. I like Somerset. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 14:26, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you all for your input. I've gone ahead and restricted editing to autoconfirmed users for one year. I know that goes a bit further than any of you suggested, but I really didn't want to wait around for somebody to write a filter. Rand0 (talk) 07:06, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
