Fire Team Alpha is not a fully established part of Wikipedia, but is an ongoing project created by the user Deagle_AP (talk · contribs). It is intended to acknowledge the achievements of users who have dedicated time and effort into fixing unconstructive edits. The user Deagle_AP (talk · contribs) has noticed their loyalty to the anti-vandalism cause, and wishes to present them with a prestigious FTA membership award, as Wikipedia no doubt owes its reputation to individuals like these counter-vandals. Thus, it is considered an injustice to pass time without the recognition of a team of editors, not just separate individuals, as combating vandalism is a combined effort. It must also be noted that Fire Team Alpha is not a replacement of Wikipedia's Counter-Vandalism Unit, but is rather an unofficial subset of the wider community, and can be considered the core of CVU.
