House offices all share the same IP address.

Here are the details for the IP:

This makes it quite easy to find when people who work in Congress airbrush Wikipedia pages. BuzzFeed found 13 new examples since the first post.

13. A section of Republican Rep. Frank Lucas' page about bringing home farm subsidies to his district was removed.

12. A section from Democratic Rep. Joseph Crowley's page was removed that cited a New York Post article saying Crowley's children went to school in Virginia.

11. A portion of Republican Rep. Renee Ellmers' Wikipedia page was removed about an Ar-15 being stolen from her home and Ellmers saying during the shutdown she would keep her paycheck.

8. A section from the article "List of politicians affiliated with the Tea Party movement" was removed that said Republican Rep. Mike Coffman was associated with the tea party.

7. The entire section "Ethics complaint" was removed from Texas Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke's page was removed. It ran about 2,000 characters long.

6. A portion of Democratic Rep. Ron Barber's article was removed noting he voted to continue funding the NSA.

5. A section of Republican Rep. Jack Kingston's page was removed noting he was skeptical of evolution.

4. A section of Rep. Tim Huelskamp's page that noted donors to his campaign, including Koch Industries, was removed.

2. Portions of Democratic Rep. Cheri Bustos' page were removed that focused on her time as city council member, noting she supported water and sewer rate hikes. A removed section also noted criticism Bustos had received for voting for a $624,000 parkway.
