What is the bigger crime? The ban or the editing?

This isn't off topic as it, in some way, concerns us all. Since some of us are here on work computers. :)

You can't really blame the ministry. They really shouldn't use their work computers for anything other than work.

Yeah, seems pretty straightforward to me. If you spend hours and hours at work doing things that aren't work, it'd be irresponsible *not* to reprimand them.

I certainly don't blame the ministry. But I am concern where I can get accurate design specification of any Gundams. I assume these experts have a life after work. So the only time they have editing Wiki is during work. :)

Yes. They are too busy buying Gundam models to post on Wikipedia about Gundams when they are off work.

I have to agree with you guys. They are at work. They are not supposed to be spending time on their hobbies. they should be busy making the company money.

That's probably true. Though if you look at the rate of posts at work, about 102 posts per year, there is more than enough reason to believe that after shopping for said models, they make more posts.
An evil, evil process

My lawd, no sense of duteh, I declayuh. @_______@

Methinks this is called 'abuse of company(or on this case, Ministry) resources'?

I say, maybe they planned to use giant robots for agriculture developpement. NOT GUILTY!

And that surely helps by editing wikipedia articles of Gundam models. amirite?

Yes, and I trust the Gundam specs if it was edited by a person from the Ministry. The tracking was probably motivated by preserving creditability than trying to help companies tracking down people browsing internet at work.

Same goes to the CIA edited articles as mentioned in BBC news. :)

I heard of that, but I never actually know what was actually altered. Wikipedia is probably the most influential website of today.
