If you go through it there are lots of NSA references in the notes on updates. Why would the NSA care what a wikipedia page says?

8,326 unique visits during the last month alone. That is why the NSA cares so much about the Wikipedia page.

Doesn't surprise me much.

I have already posted about this several times here. I was an active member of the Wikipedia from 2006 to 2011. I have seen all sort of disgraceful shit happening over there (mostly after 2010), especially with topics such as Politics, Religion, and Finance.

I remember the first time I have heard of that NSA project down in Utah. Went to Wiki to learn more about it. Check out the editing history of that page...




I don't get it (I don't edit Wikipedia often). What's going on on that page?

An "editathon" is actually a Wikipedia concept that is not unique to this OFR collaboration. Wikipedia is crowd-edited by design, so an "editathon" is often held by experienced editors to help provide training to new editors, as well as to accomplish the basic purpose, to "edit and improve a specific topic or type of content."

Although this is a first-of-its-kind event for the National Archives, it is not the first time the Wikipedia community has hooked up with federal employees.  In May last year when furloughs were hitting some government workers, the D.C. chapter of Wikimedia held a "Furloughed Feds Workshop", a "training seminar and edit-a-thon for federal employees interested in learning more on how to edit Wikipedia."
