Twitterbots that tweet anonymous Wikipedia edits from Parliament, Congress

The @parliamentedits account tweets anonymous edits to Wikipedia made from the UK parliament’s IP block, and thanks to an open codebase, it’s being adapted to watch other legislatures, including the US Congress.

The codebase allows you to specify any IP range, and it scans for those IPs in the feed of Wikipeda edits, livetweeting them to an account of your choosing — for example, the @congressedits account.
