Eve Fairbanks has a fun article over at The New Republic relating the eternal vigilance Wikipedia editors have to exercise in order to keep the pages of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton clean. It all seems a bit goofy, but at the end of the day, folks who're just tuning in and trying to get a broader sense of what's going on are going to need to go somewhere for an overview, and Wikipedia's high Google ranking makes it the most logical place. Eve plays up the amateur angle of these folks, but they're probably playing among the most important editorial roles in this election -- certainly a lot more meaningful than what many of us self-styled pundits are doing.
