Why would you want to?

Journalists and bloggers use Wikipedia to source information about companies, places and everything else under the sun. Gone are the days of strict fact-checking when the internet makes it so easy to find information in just a few clicks. Whether that information is correct or not is another matter. Imagine someone has written a Wikipedia page about you and it gives your age as 35 – you’re actually 34 but when a journalist writes about you, they put 35 because they trust Wikipedia to be right.

Wiki Alarm lets you monitor these changes and be the first to know about updates to your page. It takes a few seconds to sign up and you’ve got instant control over your online reputation.
