Sorry for the graphic subject heading, but it's 1am and I've lost my patience.

Whoever's sabotaging with the philosophy wiki needs to STOP.  (Your IP address is 67.173.243.188, and you live in Colorado.)  I can't imagine what one's motivation would be for this sort of thing, but please, please cease and desist.  If I have to open a can of whoop-ass, I will.

(Aren't philosophers supposed to value reason?)

I looked at it yesterday, out of curiosity (not on the market). What's happened?

Random deleting and/or moving of groups of posts.  (Or at least it appears to be random, since there's no AOS shared by all of the affected posts.)  E.g., certain posts added to the "Interviewing at the APA" section were deleted and/or moved to the "Awating News Concerning" section (despite the fact that one or more of us who made the original posts had received an interview request, and hence KNEW FOR A FACT that the school(s) in question were going to be at the APA).

Click on the "Discussion" button at the top of the wiki for more of the details.

There is probably someone out there who thinks they know how to organize the WIKI better than anybody else, and can't understand why their efforts aren't appreciated.

I've run into a few of these.
