@News4wombats I'm curious about the ethics of this research.

Was methodology reviewed by an ERB prior to experimentation?

Was Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation contacted or advised prior to the study?

Were the edits reversed after some period of time, and if so, after how long?

@dredmorbius
The linked paper indicates that the edits were reversed after 48 hours if not caught by Wikipedians until then.
