Interesting article on fivethirteight.com for people perhaps. It
discusses Wikipedia, and other websites role in the selection of Sarah
Palin. Not quite our use of the word "Wikipedian", but... :)

"Brickley, a self-described "obsessive" political junkie who recently
graduated from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, told me
that he began by "randomly searching Wikipedia and election sites for
Republican women."
