[edit] Vandalism
Anyone can revert vandalism. See Wikipedia:revert for instructions. If you see any recurrent vandalism, you can list it at Wikipedia:vandalism in progress. You can also check other listings on that page and follow them up by seeing if the users listed there have made any further vandalism since the listing. Unreverted edits will still have (top) next to them. Sysops may choose to block recurrent vandals, following a warning on the user's talk page using Blockip, or for unlogged-in users clicking the block link next to their IP on recent changes.
The pages linked to from the main page often see the most vandalism, so checking those pages via the links on Editing the Main Page can be a good place to look if you feel like vandal spotting.
[edit] SPAM By Bots
Software Bots (programs that automatically do the job on multiple sites) have been posting 20 to 100 spam links at a time on "Discussion" pages. The spam in in html and is invisible on the page. It can be seen only when you go to the "Edit" page of the Discussion.
Please be sure to check the edit page of every discussion page that you see to ensure such spam is not there, and that it is removed if it is there. You may need to remove some and Wikipedia:revert others.
