    Hey, anybody else check this out yet?

    I was just watching the Colbert Report and heard about Wiki Scanner--you can now scan to see which organizations have been editing at Wikipedia. So. I tried it and there were 18 results containing the word Watchtower. Haven't taken a look beyond that yet. If anyone else wants to (especially someone who knows what they are looking for) here is the site: http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/

    And here is the results page I got: http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/name2ip.php?orgname=Watchtower&location=

    WAC used it to prove the Watchtower was editing wiki.

    How you find exactly what was edited?

    Ah, ok, I must have missed that when my internet service was down.

    Shazard, it looks like you have to click on Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, then checkmark the same on new page, click on Wikipedia Edits Ahoy button, then one of the titles listed. It will take you to the old Wiki page before any change was made so you can compare it with the page as it now exists after editing...I think.

    HAHA Watchtower. Nothing they do these days will escape notice.

    They can't pull the same crap they did in the pre-Internet days and not get outed.
