Vandalism and Wikipedia

Wikipedia, one of the largest reference sites is open to the public for editing. But now Virgil Griffith has created a new application for the free site, to allow users to see who has edited the page. Last year, reports showed that several big companies tweaked their own pages to only allow good things on the pages, so Virgil Griffith created WikiScanner. He directed us to the Maltastar page to view a list of vandalism on Wikipedia. We talked with Convergence and Broadband Blogger from ZDnet, Russell Shaw and the communications manager for the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., Sandy Ordonez to gain an insight. Kara Ratliff takes you through what makes this so fascinating.
