| All the News That's Fit To Edit Anonymously Using Naughty Words |

| . . . a Caltech grad student has built an intriguing Wikipedia tool that allows users to search for article edits made by users from known IP addresses. I poked around for about 10 minutes and found the following: . . . On George W. Bush, 199.181.174.146 (The New York Times) added: jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk (I assume that's a clever ploy to boost the President's ranking in the results for search keyword "jerk".) . . . On George W. Bush, 156.33.43.214 (U.S. Senate) added: GEORGE W. BUSH IS THE WORST PRESIDENT TO SLEEP IN THE WHITE HOUSE! Five minutes earlier (this was about 2 years ago), a user from the same Senate IP edited Senator Robert Byrd's page, replacing the section on Byrd's KKK membership with: ROBER (sic) LIVES! LONG LIVE DA BIG BYRD! . . . Much more at the link. Classy people, these Timesmen; not at all like those unbwashed, uncouth louts in the blogosphere. |
