Twenty-six paragraphs into the article, the New York Times mentions the … uh … questionable edits made by someone in their offices: Lifting Corporate Fingerprints From the Editing of Wikipedia.

They’re just getting around to covering the story—by sheer coincidence on the weekend, when it will be noticed the least.

And The New York Times is among those institutions whose employees have made, among hundreds of innocuous changes, a handful of questionable edits. A change to the page on President Bush, for instance, repeated the word “jerk” 12 times. And in the entry for Condoleezza Rice, the secretary of state, the word “pianist” was changed to “penis.”

“It’s impossible to determine who did any of these things,” said Craig R. Whitney, the standards editor of The Times. “But you can only shake your head when you see what was done to the George Bush and Condoleezza Rice entries.”
