[LM_NET] HIT: Re: [LM_NET] TAR: Wikipedia article authors

[Donna Bedry <BedryD@FSD38.AB.CA>]

I'm so sorry.  I got responses so rapidly that I assumed I was likely
the only one who didn't already know how to do this and didn't think to
post a hit!!
 
Here's the text of one of the responses I got:
 
Cammie Backus wrote:
To see who has contributed to a Wikipedia entry, click on the "history"
tab at the top right of the entry.  You can then click on the user names
of those who have contributed to that entry to see their profiles, as
well as all the other entries they've written.  
 
Of course, there's no guarantee people post the truth about themselves
on their page, but at least that will give you a starting point.  
 
Thanks again for the rapid replies.
Donna
