During my EMAC/ATEC 2321 class, I was shown a way in which you can scan Wikipedia articles from different companies. I found it very interesting because you can see for example if something was either edited, added, or deleted from the Wikipedia article itself. I was scanning articles on the University of Texas at Dallas and on ESPN. For the University of Texas at Dallas article only simple information like say notable alumni, athletics, and majors was edited. As for the ESPN article, in one of the edits the information of one of the member of the ESPN company was posted that did not relate to his profession.

I did not realize that one was able to scan Wikipedia articles and see who has done what types of edits on the article itself. Maybe there are other methods in which you can see in which you can discover different tips such as scanning the Wikipedia article for its edits. We just have to wait and see when one decides to create them.
