What did Apple edited "anonymously" on Wikipedia?

  Are you implying that any of these edits are malicious or self-serving? And that they are sanctioned by Apple (as opposed to, say, being made by employees during their lunch break)? I don't understand your motivation for thinking these pages are noteworthy.

    It was just a matter of showing the potential of a tool like that, it's possible to uncover some malicious or self-serving edits like: Sky is removing critics from his page http://wikiwatchdog.com/#!search/en/sky.com/216355/446125412 http://wikiwatchdog.com/#!search/en/sky.com/216355/446125412 or Dell that is removing critics http://wikiwatchdog.com/#!search/en/dell.com/102490/320085057 http://wikiwatchdog.com/#!search/en/dell.com/102490/32008505... or a Dell employee that vandalizes the Dell page http://wikiwatchdog.com/#!search/en/dell.com/102490/88573397 http://wikiwatchdog.com/#!search/en/dell.com/102490/88573397

      If you flesh out this analysis it could make for a good series of blog posts.

      2 cases of vandalism, 1 case of removing vandalism, 1 case of changing the partisan slant of (part of) a political article.

    Right. "Some person with an Apple IP address" != "Apple". My IP address is owned by AT&T, but that doesn't make me an official representative.
