By now you all probably know about Wikiscanner, created by Virgil Griffith. It is a very impressive piece of software that cross-references wikipedia edits with data on the owners of the associated block of IP addresses. Basically, it tells you who owns the I.P. Addresses that are editing the information you are looking at. The results are interesting. According to Virgil, there are three common types of interesting vanadlism  and disinformation he has found:

Without naming any names, I've found three common kinds of vandalism.

1. Wholesale removal of entire paragraphs of critical information. (common for both political figures and corporations)
2. White-washing -- replacing negative/neutral adjectives with positive adjectives that mean something similar. (common for political figures)
3. Adding negative information to a competitor's page. (common for corporations)

This vandalism is usually fixed before most of us will see it, but it is interesting to see what a certain computer network is up to. Click here to see some examples.

Such as:

Pepsi deletes all long-term health effects

Of course Pepsi doesn't want this stuff known, and powerful corporations tend to go to great lengths to diminish the effects of bad publicity... that's why someone decided to delete all the long-term health effects associated with its product.

Republican Party Spills Harry Potter Spoiler

This just goes to show how evil Republicans can be.

US Department of Justice/ ATF suggesting Bush stole the 2000 election

Who knows? May be true... haha.

dems think Rush is a racist, bigot, jerkoff

Probably true as well.

someone in benny hinn ministries with a grudge?

Ditto.

While these edits are not necessarily official, nor definite edits from officials on the networks, it is from people with access to the network, which could come with inside access or some intimacy with the associated person/group. It shows the lengths that certain groups of people, in corporations or surrounding a political figure, will go to spread their biases. They want to control what you know about them, or change your perception, rather than changing themselves and proving they are good. Truth is not always a bad thing, and you can always accept the past as unchangeable and embrace the future as a chance to make a positive change.

Then again, some of these things are just in good(?) fun.
