~Wikipedia Question~

[Gentle_Ben]

Does Wikipedia track the ip's of contributors?

Or basically, if I wanted it to look like a bunch of different people had contributed to an article could I just create a bunch of different accounts or would I have to start using proxies for each diff account?

Wiki N3wbie here, any help appreciated

no they track your IP.

random example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:24.46.31.155

I would think facts distorters would be more worrisome than spammers...

Umm, most important thing about Wikipedia is that they are totally anal about rechecking things, and they will shitcan any external links that aren't 100% valid and on point. Also, all of their links are "no follow" tagged, so Google ignores them.

I gently tried to put a couple of minor edits in to wikipedia and any links were removed within days, even on fairly obscure pages.
