Talk:David Davis (Tennessee politician)

message: From WebProsNews.com (excerpt):  
 Ethically Updating Wikipedia 
Submitted by Ross Dunn on Wed, 07/18/2007 - 09:17.         
An article was published today on Search Engine Land called "SEO Tips &Tactics From a Wikipedia Insider and it has to be one of the most interesting and best written articles I have seen in a while.       
The article was written by a lady by the name of Durova who is  Wikipedia administrator who confronts some of the site's most disruptive editors. She uses a pen name to avoid harassment in real life."    
 The article is about how, in some cases, a marketer can work with Wikipedia in an ethical manner while still emphasizing an online presence. The tips are great and obviously well thought out but I found the most fascinating to be Durova's examples of how underestimating Wikipedia can be a dangerous business.  In her examples she notes how the transparent nature of Wikipedia has caught anonymous users on government-based IP addresses editing political Wikipedia profiles to delete unflattering content.       
For example, Durova cites how the Wikipedia listing of Tennessee state politicians Matthew Hill and David Davis was edited to remove the information that they had both accepted contributions from pharmaceutical companies.  According to Durova, the IP address used to make the edits came from a congressional computer. [170.142.7.3; 143.231.249.141 ] The best part of Wikipedia is that, much to the chagrin of the illicit editor, each of these edits are publicly available - transparent indeed!

thread_title: U.S. Rep. David Davis' office using federal tax dollars to vandalize Wikipedia political bios

message: Why can't this content be kept in one article, instead of spamming it into five?

It would be easier to manage this content in one location instead of in five, IMHO.  It seems particularly odd that there's no mention of this in the articles about Altace, King Pharmaceuticals, Rhône-Poulenc, nor Aventis - Foetusized 02:14, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
