You've been hacked
It looks like you got one of the pages, but this page is also in your wiki: Politics slows Congress in 2007. It happened to a wiki that I maintain, too. Once you start getting hacked, you'll keep getting hacked. They have a randome username generator, so you'll have to block new users every couple of days. What I did is install a thing on my wiki that made it so that you have to type in a math formula if you're trying to add content with external links. That totally stopped all of the spam, without making it too much of a pain for users, since most users add content rather than links. I don't know the link to the thing I installed, but you should be able to find one. Also, you should check Special:Newpages to make sure that you clean out all of the spam pages. 63.82.19.2 11:01, 3 January 2008 (MST)
Stop the vandalism
