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. After last year, reports showed that several big companies tweaked their own pages to only allow good things on the pages…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 get an insight.
