    WikiScanner.virgil.gr - Find Out Who's Behind the Edits

    wikiscanner

    Wikipedia is a great resource, no doubt. However, recent complaints and allegations of inaccuracy and lies have assailed its integrity. The nature of Wikipedia lends itself to certain discrepancies, which is precisely where WikiScanner comes in. The site tracks edits made on Wikipedia. You can see who made the edits and therefore, where the interest lies. Companies, for example tend to self-edit in order to protect their brand and name. WikiScanner unearths editors using corporate IP blocks to cross reference Wikipedia’s records. You can search for info by company name, Wikipedia URL and IP address. Find out what’s behind it all, and find out once and for all, who the culprits really are.

    In their own words

    "List anonymous Wikipedia edits from anonymous organizations"

    Why it might be a killer

    WikiScanner uncovers the truth. It shows you where the bias is and who has perpetrated it. You’ll find some juicy tidbits and as well as blatant fabrications. As most all of us know, disinformation is easy to spread. Public figures may white-wash info they don’t find particularly agreeable. Companies make edits to make them look better. Facts are distorted. If you like to see how things really are, WikiScanner will show you.

    Some questions

    Does WikiScanner put into jeopardy Wikipedia’s integrity and usefulness? Won’t it make people even more furtive with their edits?
