Just for some context, it's been reported in the Liverpool Echo - http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/hillsborough-wikipedia-insults-added-government-7029881and the Telegraph - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/wikipedia/10786380/Insulting-revisions-to-Wikipedia-entry-on-Hillsborough-made-from-Government-computers.html- so please be aware it's a live story for now. If you happen to receive any enquiries, please do feel free to send them my way.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Hillsborough page
If you spend a short while looking through the history of the article, you can see that: 1. there has been all sorts of vandalism over the years; 2. Cluebot caught a lot of the vandalism within a minute of it being made; 3. It's well-watched and editors reverted the rest of the vandalism quite quickly; 4, There's no incident of vandalism (that I could see) that remained more than a couple of hours. In other words, our system works. But that's not news. -- Rexx On 24 April 2014 21:27, Stevie Benton stevie.ben...@wikimedia.org.ukwrote: Just for some context, it's been reported in the Liverpool Echo - http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/hillsborough-wikipedia-insults-added-government-7029881and the Telegraph - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/wikipedia/10786380/Insulting-revisions-to-Wikipedia-entry-on-Hillsborough-made-from-Government-computers.html- so please be aware it's a live story for now.

For the curious, this edit that started all the newspaper fuss: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hillsborough_disasterdiff=283956539oldid=283955440 from *gateway-202.energis.gsi.gov.uk http://gateway-202.energis.gsi.gov.uk* lasted just four minutes before being removed by another IP. -- Rexx On 25 April 2014 00:43, rexx r...@blueyonder.co.uk wrote: If you spend a short while looking through the history of the article, you can see that: 1. there has been all sorts of vandalism over the years; 2.
