Resistance if (not) futile!

I just came up with an interesting programming project I think I'll dedicate a few hours to. The parapsychology researchers often say that Wikipedia is broken and that pages about themselves and their research have been hijacked. There's not much I can do about that, but I could at least point out the facts by scraping the editors off of the internetz and do some meta-analysis on the compilation.

I'll start by manually compiling a small list of pages of interest. Then I'll make a small Python script to scrape the editors and cross-check against some type of list of skeptics. If more than half of the edits are from skeptics, well, that should at least have some evidential value.

The hard part might be compiling the list of skeptics. I'll kick off with a manual investigation, fun!

Edit: after a couple hours of reading Wikipedia edits, I've realised that it's very hard to do anything of this kind unless the list of skeptics is compiled manually. That list would be very opinionated and to no use of either side. Flip. Table.
