EA updates websites to ensure 'accuracy of corporate information' |
Ó
There was quite a buzz when some sources used the Wikipedia Scanner created by a college graduate to track users that try to modify Wikipedia entries. One worth taking note of was Electronic Arts' page which was supposedly edited more than once by an employee from EA. Turns out the stories were true, and EA even talked to GamesIndustry.biz about it.
An EA spokesperson explained that the company sometimes updates websites like Wikipedia to "ensure accuracy of their own corporate information." Reasons on why they were attempts to cover the tracks of EA founder Trip Hawkins - something that the Wikipedia community will not allow in some conditions - and to change a few lines about lawsuits charged against EA were still left in the dark.
However, the spokesperson did state, "EA has sent a correction to Yahoo Finance when they had misspelled the name of an EA executive." Trip Hawkins, who was almost wiped off from the pages of Wikipedia for reasons unknown, is currently on vacation and has yet to give his input on the matter.
