This is neat. I was playing with the wiki API the other day comparing edits to IP addresses. I am unsure about how I feel, but alot of companies edit their own articles; and the edits usually stick. Monsanto practically wrote their own entry.
- _delirium 16y agoThis project sounds somewhat relevant, though it doesn't really correlate the content of edits (it just groups the edits by organization): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiScanner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiScanner
- woodall 16y agoI have found that the majority of edits appeared in the before time(pre 2010), and the amount of edits that stick are relatively low. On that note, I would also like to point out there are still ones that do. I have no issue with a company editing their page with updated information and what not, but I do have an issue with companies writing about them selves in a word-game kind of way; in the sense that certain words have different emotional impacts. I guess this is one of the reasons I was never allowed to cite wikipedia.
