Patrolling and Amdocs Review

 * Did you see anything while patrolling this past week that would be interesting to discuss with the team?


 * Pages are being blanked. A message was put on the person's talk page.  If you see these happening, let's contact them and find out if it is a group being instructed wrong.
 * People are adding coding that is destroying pages. Please ask people having these difficulties to please preview pages and not save and keep going.
 * Images are disappearing that were added in 2008-2009 and some recent. File is still there but file has been corrupted. Lee has been trying to find out what has been going on.  Hoping that if it is the FCK editor it can be changed.  If you see an image missing, please let Lee know.  See example: France (Photo history is there but no photo)
