Since Wired News first wrote about WikiScanner last week, Internet usershave spotted plenty of interesting changes to Wikipedia by people atnonprofit groups and government entities like the Central IntelligenceAgency. Many of the most obviously self-interested edits have come fromcorporate networks.

Last year a Wikipediavisitor edited the entry for the SeaWorld theme parks to change allmentions of “orcas” to “killer whales,” insisting that this was a moreaccurate name for the species.

NY Times wrote:
Last year, someone at PepsiCodeleted several paragraphs of the Pepsi entry that focused on itsdetrimental health effects. In 2005, someone using a computer at Diebold deleted paragraphs that criticized the company’s electronic voting machines. That same year, someone inside Wal-Mart Stores changed an entry about employee compensation.
