Saw this when playing with WikiScanner this afternoon - someone in Ryanair edited a Wikipedia article on Dublin’s Southside to say that Eamon DeValera was a crook!

Poor Eamon will be turning in his grave!

Darren Crowley used Wikiscanner to catch RTE editing rival stations’ Wikipedia entries in favour of RTE:

I’ve caught our National Broadcaster, RTÉ editing numerous Wikipedia articles. These include rival radio station FM104 and TodayFM’s Gift Grub.

Unbelievable!

Good catch Darren.
