Wikipedia on The Revolution: A Manifesto needs work

[LittleLightShining]

The wikipedia entry on TR:AM needs some help. I was just asking a friend in a Wales (A librarian) if his library had it yet and he said no. I 'm not surprised, but I wanted to send him a link of a good review, googled and found the wiki entry. It's not good at all.

The last time I changed a typo in an article my IP address was flagged so I don't think I can.

I don't understand this at all. My puter is a dinosaur and I only have the most rudimentary knowledge of its mysterious inner workings :o

Go to the Tor Project website.. http://www.torproject.org/
Install two packages Vidalia bundle + TOR,it will connect you to a large anonymous network of computers around the world each routing its traffic through another, so one can't trace where the data packets originate or being sent. Your IP address will appear as someone else's and wiki can't ban you actual IP .

Is that legal? Could someone be using my IP address and me not know it?

I'll let my team of wikipedia editors know it needs fixing, they'll get on it pretty soon.

It is not your IP address. You are just "leasing" it for a period of time.

Right, but it's how I can be located, isn't it?

UWEA, the United Wikipedia Editors Alliance.

Check out the talk page for the article. At the bottom someone pointed out this thread on this forum, they are mad that someone suggested using Tor to get around a block.

I'm surprised that those Wikipedia editors take the time to come to this site and look for people suggesting changes to Wikipedia articles They must really have a lot of time on their hands...
