Are you a fan of Wikipedia? Not sure to trust the information? Yes, Wikipedia allows users all across the world to edit the information but it does not mean that they are not keeping records of all the changes. Wikipedia has a tool ‘WikiScanner’ that maintains all the edits! As described by Wikipedia itself:
“WikiScanner is a tool which consists of a publicly searchable database that links millions of anonymous Wikipedia edits to the organizations where those edits apparently originated, by cross-referencing the edits with data on the owners of the associated block of IP addresses.”
See the tool in action by jumping to: http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/, type soccer in “Specify by Wikipedia page” - see the last two results in the “diff” column and you’ll get the idea about the tool! Share your thoughts by posting a Talk-Back:
