Thanks for your intervention.  I always mess things up whenever I try to do a mass revert of this kind of vandalism and end up spending half a day trying to put things right.  It was also very well timed, as I woke up feeling extremely dispirited with the whole Wikipedia enterprise this morning.  It sometimes feels like the torture of Sisyphus, or whoever it was who had to keep on rolling a rock up a hill that slipped back down just as he approached the summit.  I have been invited by George Kiraz and Sebastian Brock to contribute my work on Nestorian and Chaldean dioceses to the Online Dictionary of Syriac Heritage, which will soon be up and running, and which sounds like my kind of dictionary.  The articles are written by scholars, they own them, and if people want to edit them they email the author and suggest an edit.  That way all the idiots get screened out, but the authors of the articles still get useful feedback.  It sounds like an ideal compromise between the Encyclopedia Britannica and Wikipedia.  Anyway, I was just about to shake the dust of Wikipedia off my shoes for a few weeks while I thought about whether I still wanted to be involved with it.  However, your intervention has (for a while) restored my faith in human nature.  Wikipedia has so much potential, but putting right vandalism takes up so much time ...
