shacknews.com — Thanks to the Wikipedia Scanner, it's now easy to see where all those anonymous IPs editing Wikipedia are from. Turns out EA doesn't want you to know Trip Hawkins founded the company, or about all that business with EA Spouse and the class action lawsuits.

in other news, the IP tracker program revealed that 99.9% of all wikipedia original works, edits and revisions came from a single IP address located in Michigan. Further tracking revealed it actually belonged to Michael Moore, a hollywood film director whose films include 9/11 and Sicko. When asked to comment Moore said "c'mon, you guys act like this is some sort of surprise. what the hell else would I be doing with all my free time anyway."

Wow, why all the hatred? I for one think it's fairly interesting to know that from now on employees of companies will be editing their companies entries from home instead of work. :P

I remember back in the '80s when EA would advertise for developers on its game packaging. They seemed pretty decent back then.

Notice that the company doesn't officially call itself "Electronic Arts". It is "EA Games" today. "Electronic Arts" died years ago.

Buried for the use of the comma in title, making it grammatic nonsense.

EA employees don't get paid enough to want to do it from home.

What a non-story. This is the downside of an 'encyclopedia' that can be edited by anyone. Just the other day, I saw an interesting line in an article about acne describing a home remedy involving very kinky sex. Point is, I'm not going to be interested until there's something to demonstrate that the company itself is editing the article. If it's just the action of some random employee, I couldn't care less. I could go onto my company's article and edit it any way I want. Doesn't make it a worthwhile story.
