"A Twitter bot that watches for anonymous Wikipedia edits from a range of Congressional IP addresses lit up with activity on Monday as somebody \u2014 we don\u2019t know who \u2014 made unusual changes to 13 wide-ranging Wikipedia articles.\nThe article topics range from Choco Taco to the Russia Today journalist Abby Martin to the right-wing radio host Alex Jones. All were lightly altered to praise or denigrate the subject.\nIn at least one case, the Wikipedia entry for Crimea, the anonymous Congressional operative made a geopolitical clarification that fits the U.S./Ukraine viewpoint on Russia\u2019s conflict with Ukraine.\n\nCrimea Wikipedia article edited anonymously by US House of Representatives http://t.co/Lfb0rEbVUh\n\u2014 congress-edits (@congressedits) July 14, 2014\n\nThe Crimea listing originally looked like this: \nSovereignty and control of the peninsula became the subject of the ongoing [[2014 Crimean crisis]], a territorial dispute between Russia and Ukraine.\nBut the anonymous Wikipedia user thought this was a more accurate depiction of the occupied Crimean peninsula: \nAlthough the region is a ''de jure'' part of Ukraine, control of the peninsula became the subject of the ongoing [[2014 Crimean crisis]], when the peninsula was illegally annexed by Russia.\nA few moments after making those changes, another user reverted them back.\n\nImage:  WikipediaBut the Congressional editor didn't stop there. \nOf Alex Jones: \u201CFollowing his appearances on Russia Today, there were allegations that he was a disinformation agent with ties to the Kremlin.\u201D\nOf Abby Martin: \u201CAbigail Suzanne \u2018Abby\u2019 Martin is a Russian propagandist\u2026\u201D\nOf David Icke: \"He is also a disinformation agent funded by the [[Pleiadians]].\"\nOf Lyndon LaRouche: \"He is also a disinformation agent funded by the Kremlin.\"\nAnd of the LaRouche movement's ideas: \"which are heavily influenced by [[Trotskyism]].\"\nThe user also made a few entertaining trivial edits, such as adding Bon Jovi to the list of musicians that have appeared on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and adding key facts on Choco Tacos \u2014 which were allegedly a favorite snack of former House Speaker Sam Rayburn.\nThe address, 143.231.249.138, is a static IP address that is assigned to the U.S. House of Representatives. It\u2019s been caught red-handed before, too. \nIn 2009, a user at the IP address was caught editing U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes\u2019s Wikipedia listing, calling him a Nazi and add highly-suspect comments to articles related to abortion facilities.\n      window._msla=window.loadScriptAsync||function(src,id){if(document.getElementById(id))return;var js=document.createElement('script');js.id=id;js.src=src;document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);};\n_msla(\"//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\",\"twitter_jssdk\");"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
