The British website _The Register_ recently carried an article on a man who used up to 15 identities to manipulate content on Wikipedia, including placing sexually explicit photos of women on that site without their knowledge or consent. The URL for the article is http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/19/wikipedia_civil_servant_scandal/ . The site also has an article on how a Wall Street insider used anonymous identities to manipulate Wikipedia's entries on naked short selling, regarded as a major factor in the recent crises in financial markets. That article is at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/01/wikipedia_and_naked_shorting/ . Both articles contain links to other _Register_ stories on problems with the manipulation of Wikipedia content. Mitch Pravatiner mitchpra@earthlink.net
