Have you guys heard of Wikiscanner? You enter in a company/institution's name, and you can track all Wikipedia edits made from that company/institution's IP addresses. Here's a great article that explains it. Anyway, I'm obsessed with looking at the edits made from Dennis Publishing. Someone keeps updating/making changes to the Columbia University wiki page. There are about 1,000 Star Trek edits (looking at you, Stewie). My favorite so far is that somebody from Dennis updated the "Gestapo" wiki article in the "appearances in popular culture" section to say this:In [[Mirror, Mirror]], an episode of ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'', the evil, parallel-universe Mr. [[Sulu]] is head of security aboard the [[I.S.S. Enterprise]], which [[Scotty]] likens to "the ancient Gestapo."
Patrick, was it you?

Great catch on the Wrath of Khan page: The novel differs from the movie in that "Regula One" is given the name ''[[Regulus]]'', and "Ceti Alpha V" is "Alpha Ceti V"--which is in keeping with the Star Trek universe's normal planetary nomenclature, e.g. "Omicron Ceti III" and "Alpha Carinae II."
Wasn't me, but that's a great episode! That's the one in which the evil Mr. Spock has a goatee.
I get the feeling we're seeing the handiwork of one Camille L. Not as busy making copy corrections as we thought, eh?
