Naughty Naughty

So, the IP or it's link, it's basically saying these changes point to some guy or server at SW Corp?

these:

um yeah from what I can gather Jim Cashman at Concord MA is the whois (or perhaps someone using his pc ) identified by this as being the person who made some anon changes to the inventor site among other wiki contributions. There about 100 or so posts identified as coming from 'Solidworks' sources on various wiki topics. I just picked the obvious CAD ones to browse - try it yourself I didnt check to see what the reverse situation might be re Autodesk people at the SW wiki... No reason why a person cant post to a wiki of course - it just looks bad if you happen to be traceable to a business. I guess if you show on the list you were either surfing the net during work hours or being actively naughty on behalf of the employer - unofficially of course ;o)

...although he may only be the local SW admin?...hmmm not sure really...chain seems to end there...amusing though :o)

Cashman runs IT at SW. He probably doesn't have anything to do with this wikipedia stuff.

if you say so not a good look though

All,

It don't even see what the big deal is. I'm a wiki editor myself, and the source of the changes is meaningless as long as the statements can be verifiable and are second sourced (if questioned). Anyone is free to remove unverified statements at any time. This is just how wiki works. Good man for correcting some of the hype-like statements on the Inventor site that are more advertising than anything. Some of his changes are questionable, but the statements he is replacing are even more questionable, in my opinion.

On a similar but unrelated note, the SolidWorks wiki article is in desperate need of some attention by people who actually use the software. I would recommend that anyone with the time and will please go there and make corrections and additions to help expand the article and make it more useful.
