Wikipedia:Congressional staffer edits


 * You may also be looking for WikiProject U.S. Congress. See also U.S. Congressional staff edits to Wikipedia.

On January 27, 2006, the Lowell Sun of Massachusetts published an article entitled "Rewriting history under the dome". This story unveiled the editing by Congressional staff members of Congressman Marty Meehan's Wikipedia entry.
 * "Matt Vogel, Meehan's chief of staff, said he authorized an intern in July to replace existing Wikipedia content with a staff-written biography of the lawmaker."

Further investigation by Wikipedia members discovered well over a thousand edits by IP addresses allocated to the US House of Representatives and Senate. These edits had, among others, added libelous statements, removed content with malice, added insults, and violated Wikipedia Policy. This has resulted in the blocking of at least two of the IP addresses and the opening of a request for comments page.

Below is a review of edits.

Congressman Meehan's response
Congressman Marty Meehan has responded to the January 27 2006, the Lowell Sun of Massachusetts article :


 * Yesterday's story, "Rewriting history under the dome," accurately reported that in July of 2005 an intern in my office responsible for updating my biography also updated my online Wikipedia entry. I did not know that this change was being made at the time and was only made aware of it yesterday when informed that The Sun had inquired about it. Though the actual time spent on this issue amounted to 11 minutes, according to server logs, I do not consider it time well spent or approve of it in any way.


 * Part of being an elected official is to be regularly commented on, praised, and criticized on the Web. For example, one of the many anonymous users who have edited my own Wikipedia entry also updated Sen. Tom Daschle's entry by adding that Daschle is a "professional hack" and that "his brain was significantly altered" after his office was targeted by terrorists in the anthrax attacks on the Capitol in 2001. This is a predictable and unavoidable part of being in public life and, tempting as it may be to get involved, we should not. The Internet is a place for the free and open exchange of ideas and opinions. It was a waste of energy and an error in judgment on the part of my staff to have allowed any time to be spent on updating my Wikipedia entry. I thank The Sun for bringing it to my attention.'


 * MARTY MEEHAN U.S. Representative

Appropriate Congressional edit process

 * Emily Lawrimore Communications Director Congressman Joe Wilson
 * as represented by her | entry creating a talk page for Joe Wilson, listing a request for someone to "update his bio with information from the following official bio too?"
 * Important note from Jimbo: this was an 'excellent' edit to a Talk page, after this staffer emailed me to ask about the appropriate way to request an update to Wikipedia. I suggested that she post information to the talk page, and she did so.  After she did so, she blanked herself and emailed me again, essentially not REALLY sure this was ok.  Her actions were 100% perfect in every respect, treating us appropriately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimbo Wales (talk • contribs)
