CongressEdits : ウィキペディア英語版 | CongressEdits CongressEdits (or @congressedits) is an automated Twitter account created in 2014 that tweets changes to Wikipedia articles that originate from IP addresses within the ranges assigned to the United States Congress. The changes are presumed to be made by the staffs of US elected representatives and senators. Previous to this, the best information about what congressional staffers were editing was found in the articles U.S. Congressional staff edits to Wikipedia and Wikipedia:Congressional staffer edits, which are manually updated. CongressEdits has been called a watchdog by NBC News. == Origin == CongressEdits was written by and is run by Ed Summers, who was inspired by a friend's tweet about Parliament WikiEdits, which performs the same function for the staffers of Parliament of the United Kingdom. It has since been credited for inspiring additional bots for Australia, Canada, South Africa, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Israel, Chile, Italy and Greece. Summers wrote that his "hope for @congressedits wasn't to expose inanity, or belittle our elected officials."〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2014-07-15 )〕 He emphasized that he does not see edits to such articles as Step Up 3D, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, or Horse head mask as "something to make fun of," and points to "substantial edits like changing a Congressperson's party affiliation from Democrat to Independent." Ultimately, he would like to see Congressional staffers log in to Wikipedia, identifying themselves to use their knowledge of the issues and history to help make Wikipedia better.〔
