    How can I find out who made one that relates to me?

    It's favourable, it's a relative of mine.

    how do I find the maker of the article?

    IP's or usernames are in the history for every edit. If it's someone creating an entry about a single private individual it'll probably be marked for quick deletion though.

    Im sure the ip is recorded but I doubt you would be able to get it.. anonymity is the up and down side of wiki.

    How can I access it if it's there? Where on the article?

    Just hit the history tab at the top of the article. Each revision is shown along with username or IP responsible.
