Looking through the recent history does indeed show a fair bit of changing by anons and newly-created accounts. I've not seen anything previously raising this as an article for concern so it is possible that the reporter has been doing digging of his own and possibly been tipped off by the protagonists. </div><div><br></div><div>I raise this just so that we might be aware of this as something that might need to be kept an eye on. I'm watchlisting etc. Perhaps I might request semi-protect if it continues. </div><div>Here's the article in the SMH: <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/voters-get-angry-beaches-and-beyond-battle/2008/08/14/1218307119843.html">http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/voters-get-angry-beaches-and-beyond-battle/2008/08/14/1218307119843.html</a></div><div>Here's the relevant wikipedia article: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warringah_Council">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warringah_Council</a></div><div><br></div><div>I'm aware that WM-AU mailing list is probably not the best place to discuss this but it seemed too minor to post at an admin noticeboard, and it is Australia-specific so I thought we might be able to deal with any potential problems "in house" as it were. I don't want to be considered to be spamming the list, so tell me if I should have notified elsewhere instead.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>-Liam Wyatt</div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><br></div><div>wikipediaweekly.org</div><div>Skype - Wittylama</div><div>Wikipedia - [[User:Witty lama]]</div></div></div></div></div><div><br></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></div></body></html>
