Mobile Stew

After catching aides of US Congressman Marty Meehan repeatedly changing his biography, Wikipedia have now blocked all IP addresses that are associated with the US House and US Senate.

I'm not sure how effective this will be as all aides have to do is post from another location, so I'm guessing that Wikipedia are trying to make some sort of statement, rather than an example of the Government.

I can understand that they are quite peeved about their service being manipulated, but any surely any service that is edited by its readers is going to be abused.  Singling out one body of users for punishment isn't going to defer further manipulation.
