WIKIPEDIA has been forced to lock its profile page on Australian Federal Police chief Mick Keelty after a cyber vandal portrayed him as a deranged conspiracy theorist.

The nonsensical rewrite appeared on the popular online encyclopedia on Tuesday morning but was quickly removed after The Sun-Herald alerted AFP staff that afternoon.

The unidentified hacker mockingly quoted Mr Keelty warning: "The Americans should stop looking for Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan. I have particularly sensitive intelligence from aliens - he's living in an outside dunny in Dubbo.

"At this time he is training terrorist pixies and raising an airforce of stealth budgies to strike at the heart of the infidels, Allahu Akbar."

The top cop's often quoted contentious remarks about airport baggage handlers during the Schapelle Corby drug smuggling case were amended to include: "I have very little intelligence. I'm a little teapot."

And under the heading Crime of the Future he was recorded saying: "One day there will be a man with a black outfit and a really fast black car and he will be called Batman."

Former Australian Defence Force commander Peter Cosgrove was also thrown into the mix, with the exclamation: "Keelty's a bloody idiot! He's off his medication again!"

Former ASIO head Dennis Richardson was enlisted by the hacker as Mr Keelty's ally and fellow authority on extraterrestrials.

Ironically, the cyber bandit managed to strike with Mr Keelty embracing plans for a documentary-styled ABCTV series designed to salve the AFP's tarnished image.

Wikimedia Foundation Advisory Board chairwoman Angela Beesley said the person who made the edits infiltrated the site from outside. The vandalism was "silly" but fairly typical, she said. "The article has now been temporarily semi-protected, which means that only registered users of Wikipedia can edit the page."

An AFP spokeswoman said the breach did not constitute a criminal offence and would be investigated.

The online tool Wikipedia Scanner can collect the net address or username of editors and tracks all changes to a page. The information can be obtained in the "history" tab at the top of a Wikipedia page. By merging this information with a database of IP address owners, Wikipedia Scanner is able to name the organisations from which edits are made.
