A Wikipedia administrator has blocked anonymous edits from a congressional IP address for 10 days because of “tumultuous” edits being made by someone found in the House of Representatives, a spokesman for the Wikimedia Foundation confirmed.

The Twitter report @Congressedits which was set up to mechanically tweet changes to Wikipedia pages brought to light lately these otherwise anonymous edits.

However, the news media coverage, including this story composed by The Post, has seemingly emboldened the congressional staffers editors.

The changes are now nearly troll-like. Pando Daily reported that @Congressedits revealed a “Moon landing conspiracy theories” edit coming from a Congressional IP address; the congressional staffer editor attributed the Cuban government for distributing Apollo 11 conspiracy theories.

Making matters worse, when the change was covered by Mediate, someone from a Congressional IP address quickly altered Mediaite’s Wikipedia page to include that the website was a “sexist trans-phobic” publication that “that automatically assumes that someone is male with no evidence.”

That was the last straw for one of Wikipedia’s 1,400-some administrators, who’ve been approved by the Wikipedia community to track the website for trolling, vandalism and misuse.

The Wikipedia community was notified of the block Thursday morning, according to Katherine Maher, chief communications officer for the Wikimedia Foundation.

In a statement sent to The Post, Maher said the “temporary, 10-day block on the IP address connected to the U.S. Congress [was] due to tumultuous editing originating from that address.”

The Wikimedia Foundation will not establish editorial policy for Wikimedia projects, including English Wikipedia. Each job (including English Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, etc.) has its own volunteer community, which put together establishes the editorial policies and guidelines for that job. The community’s members work to carry on those policies and guidelines.

In this instance, an associate of the English Wikipedia community made this choice. As stated by the entry for Tumultuous Editing, it’s a “pattern of editing” that interrupts the method of “improving an article or building the encyclopedia.”

The 10-day block is punishment for those who abuse the system or a minor caution –, as some on the Hill appear to do lately.

And it merely changes one IP address, which could possibly be utilized by different users within the Capitol.
