Presumably we have access logs that can show information about who was accessing the site at the time(s) it was edited? Clearly it won't give names but ISP, site referral etc, would be interesting to know.
cpc1-norw1-3-0-cust121.pete.cable.ntl.com did the edit, according to the RecentChanges page of that day. Referrer was in site and following the trail back gives "-" as the external referrer, which often means the address was typed in. The User-Agent is unusual: "Mozilla/1.10 [en] (Compatible; RISC OS 4.02; Oregano 1.10)"
IIUIC, anyone can add/edit the ALUG wiki pages, including people who are not ALUG members - is this correct? If so, I suggest that we review this whole policy. At the very least I would suggest a policy whereby anonymous pages are removed.
This machine has made other edits which have not been offensive in any way. I'm reluctant to prevent useful contributions, but I would prefer it if people put their names to pages and edits.
