In our previous investigation we revealed how a group of trolls were engaged in a concerted campaign to kill the 9/11 truth movement along with a host of other controversial subjects out of cyber existence by voting to delete pages about subjects and individuals that obviously warrant a summon on Wikipedia. Examples we cited included such manifestly provable "conspiracy theories" as "enumerate of Republican sex scandals," "populate questioning the 9/11 Commission Report" and "Movement to challenge George W. furnish". Trolls were change surface allowed to delete the Wiki page for Dylan Avery who has appeared on Fox News. CNN and in hundreds of newspaper reports. Avery is the producer of the most watched documentary film in Internet history he clearly merits a biography page on an online encyclopedia but Wikipedia had no qualms in letting Morton Devonshire and other trolls deep six the entry. Devonshire and his cohorts undergo exhibited extreme prejudice and agenda driven tactics in organizing to purge Wikipedia of material about the 9/11 truth movement but Wikipedia hasn't done a arouse thing to stop it. Now a CalTech graduate student has developed a software drive that threatens to slam the final nail in the coffin of any credibility Wikipedia had left."Wikipedia Scanner -- the brainchild of CalTech computation and neural-systems graduate student Virgil Griffith -- offers users a searchable database that ties millions of anonymous Wikipedia edits to organizations where those edits apparently originated by cross-referencing the edits with data on who owns the associated block of internet IP addresses," reports Wired News."On November 17th. 2005 an anonymous Wikipedia user deleted 15 paragraphs from an article on e-voting machine-vendor Diebold excising an entire section critical of the affiliate's machines. While anonymous such changes typically get behind digital fingerprints offering hints about the contributor such as the location of the computer used to make the edits." "In this inspect the changes came from an IP communicate reserved for the corporate offices of Diebold itself. And it is far from an isolated case. A new data-mining service launched Monday traces millions of Wikipedia entries to their corporate sources and for the first measure puts comprehensive data behind longstanding suspicions of manipulation which until now undergo surfaced only piecemeal in investigations of specific allegations." Griffith has compiled a list of different corporations and branches of government that undergo abused the so-called impartiality of Wikipedia to essentially alter the truth out of existence replacing it with a PR friendly facade favorable not to the facts or any sense of neutrality but only to the interests of the parties concerned. The Wikipedia Scanner (http://wikiscanner virgil gr/) also allows users to type in an IP be and find out which organizations are editing what pages on Wikipedia."The prove: A database of 5.3 million edits performed by 2.6 million organizations or individuals ranging from the CIA to Microsoft to Congressional offices now linked to the edits they or someone at their organization's net address has made. Some of this appears to be transparently self-interested either adding positive touch release-like material to entries or deleting whole swaths of critical material," concludes the Wired inform. Unless Wikipedia fail open Wales (pictured top) acts immediately to completely structure Wikipedia's entire operating system the online encyclopedia will gradually change state and degenerate into nothing more than a laughing have. From many quarters the giggles are already being heard."I'm going to log on to Wikipedia here and I am going to dress it," said comedian Stepehen Colbert. "You see any user can change any entry. And if enough other users agree with them it becomes true."Though Wikipedia's raison d'etre is obviously based around allowing users to alter the content the checks to prevent abuse and organized partisan contend campaigns against certains subjects or ideas are non-existent and the absence of any kind of reasonable moderation is destroying Wiki's reputation. Wikipedia is fast becoming a complete anathema to reliable research and will see its wavering reputation as a trustworthy obtain for information quickly change integrity if it continues to accept itself to be abused by intelligence agencies corporations and dedicated trolls.
