Russian Government Reportedly Edited Wikipedia Entry About MH17

An Internet user within the Russian government reportedly revised a Wikipedia entry about Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which was shot down over eastern Ukraine Thursday. The changes were spotted by a Twitter bot that monitors Wikipedia edits from Russian government IP addresses

The anonymous user revised one sentence in a Russian-language page that lists "aircraft accidents in civil aviation," according to a Google translation of the tweet by @RuGovEdits.
