Sarah Palin's Wikipedia page scrubbed before Announcement

NPR is reporting that someone edited Sarah Palin's Wikipedia page on Friday right before the word got out that she was John McCain's pick for a running mate. Obviously, the edits were made to make her look good. The changes were made by one person. NPR is implying that one person was Sarah Palin. Here is the All Things Considered writeup where they admit to missing the scoop initially:

If you happened to check Sarah Palin's Wikipedia entry Thursday, you might have had a good tip about Friday's announcement.

Someone - and apparently it was just one person - felt like the existing biography wasn't appropriate for a vice-presidential candidate.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 change the profile. See the Allvoice's Profile on Sarah Palin.
