Well, now you can find out. It might even be from government officials.Wikipedia Scanner -- the brainchild of Cal Tech computation and neural-systems graduate student Virgil Griffith -- offers users a searchable database that ties millions of anonymous Wikipedia edits to organizations where those edits apparently originated, by cross-referencing the edits with data on who owns the associated block of internet IP addresses.It's called Wikipedia Scanner. Find out who edited your favorite article. Find out who destroyed your balanced edit. Wikiscanner also provided a link to Wired's most notorious edits.

Good luck and good finding.
