Wikipedia is currently fighting a war on vandalism. Wikipedia is vandalized many thousands of times per day, with most of these occurrences corrected within minutes or even seconds. This requires many volunteers in an organized effort to repair this damage. The Wikipedians on the front lines of this battle are the members of Wikipedia's intrepid Counter-Vandalism Unit (CVU). The CVU has developed specialized tools, procedures, and initiatives for fighting vandalism on Wikipedia. You can be of great service to Wikipedia by joining the CVU.
L'Ukraine a toujours aspiré à être libre ; mais étant entourée de la Moscovie, des États du grand-seigneur et de la Pologne, il lui a fallu chercher un protecteur, et par conséquent un maître, dans l'un de ces trois Etats. Elle se mit d'abord sous la protection de la Pologne, qui la traita trop en sujette ; elle se donna ensuite au Moscovite, qui la gouverna en esclave autant qu'il le put.
