an interesting tool that scans IP ranges of page edits in wikipedia and shows where they came from. there are some rather dubious edits made by government organizations, news channels and various companies. i think it's interesting to see how certain groups try and control information to their advantage.

wired have a toplist of some of the best here: http://wired.reddit.com/wikidgame/

also, there's a bbc news article about the tool here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6947532.stm
