/u/wizzwizz4 shared this link with me and deserves kudos for this epic find.

/u/Robin and /u/d3rr, you might find this one interesting.

After looking it over, it's not nearly as epic as I'd hoped.

Worth noting, the "IPs belonging to known organizations" are governments primarily of American with a few Canadian and European origins. There's nothing about covert agencies, NGOs, think tanks, etc, much less Israel or Mossad. The edits date back to 2006, so the large numbers have naturally added up. I'd be more impressed if we could look at specific dates on specific topics where I suspect much of the manipulation happens.

dude i settle at pretty epic. this tool's "MOST ACTIVE ORGANIZATIONS" https://wikiwho.ailef.tech/ is a red pill. major fine print though: only logged out edits are included in these stats. the power players are logged in with major reputation. your date range filter is good fine print too.

Also, known "organizations". There are also known unknowns and unknown unknowns.


Fom last night's chat, for future posterity and reference:

d3rr
- hey this wikip thing could be improved
- it could look for edits with stuff like "antisemitic"
- "Canard"
- "conpiracy", etc.
- preserving all of the controversial down edits would be cool

JasonCarswell
- I was thinking about an event and how it develops it would be more interesting to see who's shaping the developing narrative.

d3rr
- reuters and AP get to pick the narrative

JasonCarswell
- True enough, but WP chooses what to include for posterity or not. Not counting the non-MSM sources that get excised, many details are omitted, intentionally or otherwise for "brevity" while non-important issues like Evel Knievel pages can ramble on forever.

d3rr
- they should be happy to split shit into sub pages as needed

JasonCarswell
- Or be as long and detailed as desired - and/or - have more greater context articles.
