Much has been made recently of the website Wikiscanner which allows users to track the Wikipedia edits made by an IP address or range. Australian newspapers this week went nuts over the fact that government employees altered a number of Wikipedia articles, conveniently ignoring the edits made by their own staff.

After a few days of exhaustive research GrodsCorp can reveal the following controversial Wikipedia article edits that have been made by prominent bloggers:

Andrew Bolt
- The Greens (”eat the fetuses they have forcibly aborted from mothers at 26 weeks gestation. Hat tip: Tim Blair“)
- Climate change (”the dinosaurs died out and they didn’t drive cars! Hat tip: Tim Blair)
- David Duchovny (”dude is seriously hott”)

Timmeh Blair
- The Greens (”eat the fetuses they have forcibly aborted from mothers at 26 weeks gestation. Hat tip: Andrew Bolt“)
- Climate change (”the dinosaurs died out and they didn’t drive cars! Hat tip: Andrew Bolt)

MK
- Homosexuality (”something much more meaningful than just a beautiful lifestyle choice”)
- Guns (”for men with small penises”)

Jeremy Sear
- Cats (”rock”)

Andrew Landeryou
- Red Rooster (”pale KFC imitation”)

Mikey
- John Howard (”a truly great man”)

Iain; Hall
- McDonalds (changed article title to “Fine; Scotish; Restuaront”)
- English language (”constentley; Evolveing”)
- Islam (”the one Tru caling;”)

John Surname
