I've been reading about this for a while on Daily Kos; there have been a number of diaries showing corporate or political interference with the articles there.
The ability to trace IP numbers is a great thing, if we're ever going to be able to trust the Wikis. I look forward to that. m ------ "There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." -- Margaret Wheatley -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2007 8:58 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: Re: [tips] Interesting article about edits on Wikipedia Hi Joan: Actually I read this as it was a front page article in the local San Diego Sunday newspaper and I was more encouraged than discouraged to the extent that now if people go in and fiddle with a posting the Wiki folks can at least track down the corporate source of the fiddling and can reverse the changes if appropriate. I'm a fan of wiki for the long run. For the short run I have to concede that there can be short time frames that are problematic.
