Some sources on my Wikipedia search are showing reports that prospective US Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich's staff have become embroiled over edits they wanted made to his Wikipedia article.
Given the prominence of the personage and the current point in the seemingly interminable US election cycle, the more eyes on this the better. Gingrich is probably more sympathetic to Wikipedia than most politicians but we probably wouldn't want to get into a fight needlessly, especially one in which we may appear to take a partisan position.
It was reported in the NY Times that the campaign manager has a habit of whitewashing the article on Callista Gingrich.

I saw that, too. Michele Dowd, in http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/05/opinion/sunday/dowd-the-great-mans-wife.html. Although there's evidence at [[Talk:Callista_Gingrich]] that COI policies are being observed.
