On vandalism
[edit]"Future reverts by non-English speakers will be reported as vandalism" is a bit over the top. Good-faith contributions aren't vandalism, and while we expect a decent competency in English, your preferred version involves a subtle interpretation of national varieties of English that would be obscure to most native speakers.

Look, this guy from Venice whose English is unacceptably poor took the time to REVERT a perfectly good edit of mine, on a page which Wikipedia has FLAGGED for its sloppy English! Now you have to ask yourself: what is his motivation for doing that? It's simple: he thinks the page belongs to him personally. I'm just telling him: back off dude, Wikipedia is for all who care about sharing knowledge and pursuing truth. An edit should only be reverted if it is an ERROR.
