Re: Hunter Biden and Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden
Currently 131k bytes and eight talkpage archives full of stupidity. VERY long for a presidential offspring / dubiously-notable business operator. By comparison: Chelsea Clinton gets only 73k bytes.
And his bio currently goes on and on AND ON about his legal issues. (Remember: Wikipedia is NOTNEWS, unless Wikipedians want to editwar over some subject that is constantly in the news.)
A quick survey of the page stats shows many of the usual shrieking idiots we see in political article editwars: SPECIFICO (libertarian previously suspected of paid editing), MrX, Valjean, FeralOink (very weird character), SNUGGUMS, Starship.paint, and others. Some of these are "libertarians" and some are almost certainly sockpuppets belonging to Cirt, and some are possible paid editors. But it's unquestionably an editwar target.
Largest editor was Soibangla. Early hostile OBSESSION with Betsy McCaughey and Stephen Moore. Since 2018 he/she/it has been rating about Trump-this and Trump-that.
Huge mess. Paid editing is not very obvious post-2018 when the serious grinding started. But back in 2014, when nobody knew who Hunter Biden was.......Earflaps and PaisleyPeach look pretty good for this. Rather old stuff though--basically buried by recent grinders.
