A Sample List from the article:

- Apple edit Microsoft entries, adding more negative comments about its rival

- Bill Gates revenge? Microsoft edits Apple entries, adding more negative comments about its rival

- The Vatican edits Irish Catholic politician Gerry Adams page

- In the 9/11 Wikipedia article, the NRA added that â€œIraq was involved in 9/11â€

The interesting thing about this article (aside from the hilarious concept that "chaos erupted" when this amazing new software was unleashed) is that Wikipedia has always tracked users by IP address. As does your ISP. ANd many, many sites you visit, including this forum, I'm sure. In short, there is nothing new or remarkable about being able to tell who has been where on the Internet.

I don't believe anything I read unless it's on FWM.

Someone edited my addition of In the Company of Men out of the Fort Wayne section and I only added it two days ago.

The movie that unleashed Aaron Eckhart should never speak its name.

By the way, whatever happened to Joe Hollywod after he made his subequent three sad, bad movies? Is he in some development dungeon at Paramount? Squeezing out a Malibu living writing stuff that floats eternally in turn-around? Snuck back to Indiana, playing bass for Thunder Road?

I know that face is still working. I meant Neil LaBute.

OMG! I just looked him up on IMDB. He directed that godawful remake of "The Wicker Man!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

But now that you publish it, Eckhart been in a long line of stinkroos.

Yeah, Wicker Man was terrible-good thing Nic Cage's preposterous hair was able to deflect some attention.

Tracking is one thing. You can't precisely determine WHO is doing something just by tracking an IP address. My IP address shows as Comcast, not Anthony Gaff. The thing here is that the software cross-references a database that connects those IP addresses to their respective users.

Regardless, it was interesting to see that so many companies are cleaning up their wikis.
