Looks like the user "Georgia10" just inserted spam on that page. Aiyiyi.
What's our procedure for deleting/disabling a rogue FAS account? It appears that the account in question was just created today, probably for the express purpose of spamming the wiki and then disappearing. I would like to think that only a human could create an accounts, there's a variety of steps involved. But maybe some sort of CAPTCHA on the signup page could reduce this in the future?
We added a captcha last week so this is definitely a person or smarter than average bot:
Note that the change, a website advertisement, was actually made in context, which I don't think would be as likely with a bot. Most of the bot vandalism we see is a mass replacement of text.
