WikiScanner In New Mexico State Government
Aug 31, 2007 05:49 PM Filed in: New Mexico | Internet
Wikiscanner is a tool to determine who is anonymously editing Wikipedia. Well, not the specific person but what organization the IP address belongs to. For example, the tool shows that some one from Exxon made favorable edits to a entry about the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
The Santa Fe New Mexican checked to see what edits were being made by state employees.
But I was disappointed. Doing a WikiScanner search of the name ``State of New Mexico,'' with the location of Santa Fe, I found relatively little activity from state computers related to politicos.
Most of the edits by state employees appear to be unrelated to politics. No scandal here, move along.
