employees, who were responsible for more than 4,600 anonymous edits in the

THEY are the Wikipedia timewasters, anonymous cyber-vandals who use one of
the internet's greatest resources to abuse rivals, spread gossip and cause
widespread confusion.

But Scotland on Sunday can today reveal that many of the culprits are staff
at major companies, councils, government departments and other organisations
who spend their time sabotaging the free online encyclopaedia rather than
working.
