Vandalism and Wikipedia

http://videos.webpronews.com 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 communications manager for the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. to gain an insight.

I LOVE WikipediA... Truth and history have been written by those in power and by the victors of war for far too long. The world's collective voice can finally be heard (except for the Chinese, of course, due to their oppressively anti-WikipediA government.... sorry China)

I don't see why referring to Bobby Kotick as Satan is considered vandalism.

@happygamestvfun1

it blocks those IPs so everytime someone uses that proxy, he can't edit.
