I noticed that the Gravitoelectromagnetism (GEM) Wikipedia page has been edited recently. The factor of 4 in the GEM Lorentz force equation is now missing. But the GEM field equations are identical to Maxwell's equations except for a change of sign and rescaling. Having read other articles here, my understanding is that, given this form of the field equations, the factor of 4 should be present in the GEM Lorentz force equation. Has someone edited the Wikipedia page and introduced an error by leaving the field equations unchanged while omitting the factor of 4 from the force equation?
