Help with User:24.84.54.2 re this edit

I just tried accessing Wikiscanner but was not able to find/open that page; access permissions were mentioned. Is there a more appropriate place to ask for help with using it? I've tried WHOIS on this IP address, but to no avail, and thought maybe it might be in Wikiscanner's database as being that of a BC government office/agency or of a p.r. or consulting firm contracted to them. The 24.* part tells me it's Shawcable, probably in BC, but I can't find anything more specific; an earlier edit from November by this same IP detailed technical data on the Canada Line skytrain line, which is suggestive of someone connected to TransLink, or to one of the companies or government offices connected to building the line; as is often the case in BC, such companies are backers of the government and work hand-in-hand with them; sometimes from locations far afield, as in one case where I identified an IP account in Minnesota that was making political edits on BC politician bios, and turned out to have links to a company with linkes to the government (a military contractor no less). Sorry to sound paranoid, it's just that in coming weeks such "political blankings" by POV IPers are going to get more and more common on BC and Olympics related articles....if WikiScanner doesn't have a good listing of BC agencies/offices/companies, it's time they did....Skookum1 (talk) 03:00, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiScanner and WP:OUTING

When does posting results from WikiScanner conflict with WP:OUTING?

what is the big deal about this software?

from reading the text, it 's a dump of the database from Wiki, no intelligence, no cleverness of any kind, just data collection. I missed the notability of this "tool".
