Wikipedia spin-detector online



27B Stroke6: "Caltech graduate student Virgil Griffith just launched an unofficial Wikipedia search tool that threatens to lay bare the ego-editing and anonymous flacking on the site. Enter the name of a corporation, organization or government entity and you get a list of IP addresses assigned to it. Then with one or two clicks, you can see all the anonymous edits made from those addresses anywhere in Wikipedia's pages."

This is absolutely brilliant.. Corporations, governments, individuals caught in the act of "anonymously" editing unfavorable entries. Hats off Mr. Griffith. You have added to our world. :)
