WikiScanner

Here is a great new tool created by a scholar named Virgil Griffith called Wiki Scanner. Basically it tracks the IPS addresses of anonymous edits on Wikipedia back to their registered authors (for public IPSs, like in government buildings etc). The results, as you can imagine, are quite revealing with the largest portion of edits done by factions of the American Military. It's not all quite so sinister, however, for example with one edit - which was traced back to the FBI headquarters - which was editing the lyrics for one of the songs sung in the musical episode of Buffy.

A very interesting tool which I will be looking closely at for my research into Wikipedia.
