COMMENT
Wikipedia have created a bot that tweets whenever an anonymous edit is made from a US congress IP address.
So for there hasn't been anything beyond trivial spelling or grammar changes.
PR firms, on the other hand, wound up being investigated:
"... Wikimedia Foundation investigated 300 accounts suspected of removing damaging information from entries on behalf of a PR firm. This prompted eleven PR firms to sign a statement pledging to act ethically when making changes to pages belonging to companies they represent." [PandoDaily]
In my view, PR firms shouldn't even have access to the information repository.
We get plenty of spin already; how about just the facts?
