Joseph Biden and Wikipedia

As we begin exploring Wikipedia and prepare for your project work, I thought you might be interested in this story, from today's Wilmington News Journal: Biden staffers take Web bio entry into own hands.

Why is it so important for the Biden camp to be aware, and on top of this wikipedia entry ? It is ranked 3 in terms of search results on the google search: Joseph Biden. It is also interesting to note that it was easy to identify the source of the editors by looking at the IP addresses associated with the edits.
