New tool that shows who edited Wikipedia pages.

[Peter]

A site now hosts a tool that will trace edits made to a wikipedia page.

The tool purportes that the CIA are responsible for editing the wikipedia page of the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Dell computers also responsible for removing comments regarding their customer service. Scinentology remove negative comments (now theres a surprise)

A news report of the tool can be found at (ironically 1 of the edits purported on the tools site is that the BBC which is where I found this news changed President Bush' profile and called him a wanker):-
