The City Council's Wikipedia editors
As is widely known, there's a new tool that lets you see the originating domain of people engaging in editing of the popular online encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Called simply the Wikiscanner, it lets you simply type in a given originating domain or organization name, and gives you a list of edits originating there.

For a decade, Una Clarke held the seat her daughter now holds and US Congressman [[Major Owens]] broke with [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] leadership to support Una's candidacy. Owens was the only elected official from Brooklyn to do so and he continued to campaign for Una despite the fact that he was then recovering from [[Coronary artery bypass surgery|quintuple bypass heart surgery]]. At Owen's insistence, the 40th district was drawn in such a way as to help assure the election of the Council's first member of [[Caribbean]] descent. In [[2000]], Una ran to unseat Owens, telling reporters she owed him nothing, but she failed to oust him.
