2007 Wikipedia blanking vandalism: David Davis, Matthew Hill
In August 2007, U.S. Rep. David Davis's press secretary Timothy Hill at first denied, and later acknowledged, during a second press interview with the Knoxville News Sentinel that he had in June 2007 used congressional office computer and resources within the U.S. House of Representatives to delete referenced blocks of information (termed as "blanking vandalism") about his employer Davis and his brother Tennessee Representative Matthew Hill from biographies on Wikipedia.[5] "Part of the information he tried to remove concerned political contributions to both his brother and Davis by former King Pharmaceuticals CEO John Gregory, the prescription drug Altace then branded by the King Pharmaceuticals subsidiary Monarch Pharmaceuticals, as well as other political ties to the Gregory family in northeast Tennessee."[6]
