Text and/or other creative content from this version of Albert Square was copied or moved into EastEnders with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Vandalism[edit]

I saw that the page had been vandalized, the first paragraph was replaced with an offensive comment and then a link to a twitter page. I removed the comment, but as the original paragraph had been deleted, I was not able to replace it. The user who replaced it was User:Flimgier, so if anyone can contact them, please do so.— Preceding unsigned comment added by TrippCeyssens (talk • contribs)
