Who’s Editing Wikipedia?

Well, courtesy of Virgil Griffith, we may finally know. His site (found via LGF) matches edits with well-known IP addresses to track who’s making what edit. For example, IP addresses from Al Jazeera have been recorded as editing entries to contain blatant anti-Israeli statements. The New York Times IP addresses commonly edit Iraq, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and the entries for politicians. Wal Mart IPs have edited entries regarding its treatment of employees.

It turns out Fox News employees also edited entries, swaying them Conservatively.
