WikiScanned

In this post-wikipedia world, since the creation of the omnipotent online public encyclopedia in 2001, it must be much foretold of what was uncovered now when an American student, Virgil Griffith, created WikiScanner, a software program that reveals who edited Wikipedia entries via a system where it scans the I.P address and cross-references it with the I.P. directory. But still, the truth kicks ass... Big time. - The Vatican edits Irish Catholic politician Gerry Adams page - In the 9/11 Wikipedia article, the NRA added that “Iraq was involved in 9/11” - Scientology removes criticism and negatives article from Scientology page - Dog breeding association deletes whole paragraphs about fatal attacks by dogs on humans - US Republican Party changes the "Post-Saddam" section of the Baath Party article to a different account of the war, changing the language from "US-led occupation" to "US-led liberation" - Portuguese government removes entries about Prime Minister’s scandals - British Conservative Party removes negative references of its MPs and deletes paragraph of the party’s old policies - MSN Search is “a major competitor to Google”. That’s what MSN added to their page - BBC changes Blair's drink from coffee to vodka and his workout from the gym to the bedroom. Someone from the BBC also changes Bush’s page, changing the name from ”George Walker Bush” to “George Wan*** Bush” And that's just a handful amongst other revelations which had already caused much ripples harbouring an upcoming media storm. Kudos to Virgil, for making my (and numerous others who are lazy but nonetheless bound with an otherwise insatiable thirst for knowledge)favourite encyclopedia a more reliable one.
