What do CBC employees write on Wikipedia?
Posted: June 7th, 2007 | Author: Dan Misener | Filed under: CBC | 1 Comment »If your website has ever been visited by someone inside the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, intout.cbc.ca probably shows up in your traffic records. intout.cbc.ca is the public face of the entire corporation (online, anyway), and it resolves to 159.33.10.92.
One neat thing about this is that you take a look at the Wikipedia user contributions for 159.33.10.92 to find out what CBC employees are writing about. Its seems that a popular topic is the CBC itself:
- 21:36, 4 May 2007 (hist) (diff) Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (→Nicknames)
- 19:04, 2 May 2007 (hist) (diff) List of WireTap episodes (→Season 2)
- 20:09, 21 March 2007 (hist) (diff) Shauna MacDonald
- 21:00, 12 December 2006 (hist) (diff) Heather Hiscox
- 18:21, 10 November 2006 (hist) (diff) Andy Barrie
And apparently someone at the corporation has a hate-on for Jacob Hoggard:
- 20:06, 28 February 2007 (hist) (diff) Jacob Hoggard
- 21:20, 7 February 2007 (hist) (diff) Hedley (band) (→Trivia)
Since everyone has the same IP address inside the CBC, it’s impossible to know who wrote what. Check out the full list of edits. Fascinating reading.
