The US Congress has made enough anonymous, occasionally controversial edits to Wikipedia that the changes have warranted their own Wikipedia page. Wikipedia allows you to view edits by IP address; Inspired by a similar bot set up for the UK Parliament, web developer Ed Summers created @congressedits, which automatically searches for edits made by the IP addresses and tweets a link to the changes. Following an encounter between President Barack Obama and a man wearing a horse mask, the horse head mask Wiki, dedicated to cataloguing the meme, was updated to reflect the meeting.
