First case of vandalism I ever saw on Wikipedia was the article on Padre Pio -- it characterized him as a Italian serial murderer.

What!!! Has it since been corrected?

I think there are people who really hate this man. I have no idea why.

He had the charism to read souls, bilocation, and other great gifts. At night, Satan would attack him in his cell. Those who are 'of the world' usually dislike those who have overcome worldly temptations. You might enjoy this article about Padre Pio, and posted to EWTN.

First case of vandalism I ever saw, and I immediately had to learn how to address it (not that hard). I got it fixed up in no time, don't worry.

These are usual signs of great holiness among monastics.
