Someone is working very hard to dress up Kamala Harris' Wikipedia page, report finds

In a potential sign that California Sen. Kamala Harris may be inching closer to being named former Vice President Joe Biden's running mate, her Wikipedia page has seen a flurry of activity in recent days.

Left-wing website The Intercept notes that Harris’ page has been edited 408 times in the last three weeks, with most edits coming from one person. The article cited two similar incidents, including one story from The Atlantic in 2016 noting that Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine's Wikipedia page was heavily edited in the weeks leading up to his selection as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's running mate, and another from The Washington Post in 2008 about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's Wikipedia page in the hours before being named Arizona Sen. John McCain's number two.
