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

The changes are now almost troll-like. Pando Daily reported that @Congressedits shown 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 Mediaite, someone from a Congressional IP address quickly shifted Mediaite’s Wikipedia page to include that the website was a “sexist transphobic” publication that “that automatically presumes that someone is man 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 misuse, vandalism and trolling.

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 members of the community then work to carry on those policies and guidelines.

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

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

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