NPR reported,
On Friday, 15 minutes before the rumor that John McCain had picked Palin as his running mate, a Wikipedia editor discovered 30 mostly favorable changes had been made to the Alaska governor’s profile.
She was called “a politician of eye-popping integrity” and sections on her participation in a beauty pageant and her alleged use of influence to get her former brother-in-law fired were diminished.
Wikipedia is now restricting who can alter Palin’s page.”
That user is one “Young Trigg.” He or she was thanked and lauded by other Wikipedia editors for thoroughness, before questions of a possible conflict of interest emerged.Brian Krebs at the Washington Post writes:
Perhaps more tellingly, some of the same users editing her page were almost simultaneously updating McCain’s Wiki entry, adding information dealing with accuracy, sources and footnotes to each.

Huh? Another non-issue from those grasping at straws. Tell you what, logically speaking, it could have been your guys editing that page for all we know. And what does it matter anyways? No University professor will let you use it as an actual source because it is so bare bones. Tell you what, how about we publish the Wiki pages of Anthony Rezko and Bill Ayers and call it even? I am warning you now so you can go off and edit it till they come out looking like the Brady Bunch, and even then no one will care.
