Landon boosters wipe the slate clean. Every mention of george huguely, cheating, SAT wiped out of wikipedia entry. You can go back through edit history and see who wipes it it out.[/quote]
That is interesting. If you look at the history page, you can see that over the past month, various Wiki contributors have corrected many instances of improper "sanitizing" on the Landon page. I don't have time/interest to do this right now, but I suspect some enterprising muckraker could use a site like WikiScanner to try to track down who is making edits to the Landon page. That could prove embarrassing for the people sanitizing the Wiki page. \

[ETA: I realized after I posted that WikiScanner was really only a two-year database of edit tracking, which ends sometime in 2008, so it won't help here. I'm not sure if there is some other WikiScanner-like website that allows for more recent tracking of Wiki edits. I suppose someone could just manually unmask each IP address listed on the Wikipedia history page, but that will require some effort.][/quote]
