Anyone can make edits to wikipedia pages. They have now developed a tool that can track who has made the edits. And some interesting cases have come to light. Someone at the Vatican edited Gerry Adams' entry and the CIA made changes to the Iranian President's entry.

Is it bit sinister that large organisations are trying to delete some uncomfortable truths or reassuring that Wiki can now track them and reinstate facts.

Are you more or less likely to believe a Wikipedia entry now?

Eillen Derbyshire (who plays Emily Bishop in Coronation Street) has a son who is a sports journalist. He upset some Reading footie fans a while back. I think they are trying to get their own back. Read the fourth paragraph.

Mildy amusing.
