2005 Diebold Incident
Hi Titoxd. I am a professor at University of South Florida completing a long research project on digital technology and classical rhetoric/postmodern philosophy. Blah blah. I am particularly interested in the Diebold revert war from November 17th 2005. Looking at the page history, I noticed that you were able to revert a rather dubious edit by an anonymous IP address (later, through Wikiscanner, attached to Diebold's corporate offices), within one minute. Do you remember anything from that day? Did you just happen to be on when the edit occurred? Where you regularly watching that page? Any information you could supply would be of interest to me. Thanks ahead of time for any information you can supply. Insignificantwrangler (talk) 17:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That series of edits look to be just standard vandalism reversion (blanking of a criticism section by, caught by RC feed filters on #cvn-wp-en (or one of its many precursor channels; see WP:CUV for more info). I didn't watch that page, but it might have a) been listed on one of the IRC watchlists if someone reported problems, or b) someone else might have reverted that IP first, triggering the address to be grey-listed by the RC filter bots. More than that, I honestly don't remember (it's been four years). Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 01:59, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
