Congress-edits, is a"bot that tweets anonymous Wikipedia edits that are made from IP addresses in the U.S. Congress." The account was created by software developer Ed Summers, who stated on his personal blog he was inspired by the twitter account Parliament WikiEdits, which follows changes on Wikipedia articles by Great Britains parliament.
The congressional account Tuesday publicized a change to John F. Kennedys assassination page:
