Some more today on the BBC (and probably others):

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-27203371

It's currently on the BBC homepage with the description "The charity that represents Wikipedia in the UK has condemned edits made from government computers after more insults and vandalism emerged."

Looks like a good write up (factually accurate) with some choice quotes from Stevie.

Just for some context, it's been reported in the Liverpool Echo - http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/hillsborough-wikipedia-insults-added-government-7029881 and the Telegraph - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/wikipedia/10786380/Insulting-revisions-to-Wikipedia-entry-on-Hillsborough-made-from-Government-computers.html - so please be aware it's a live story for now. 

If you happen to receive any enquiries, please do feel free to send them my way.

Thanks and regards,
