I’ve blogged on the battle over Sarah Palin’s Wikipedia entry here and then here. And I turned it into a column that ran on Saturday.

The struggle continues. On Wednesday, I checked back and there were new restrictions on editing the profile:

This page is currently protected from editing until September 8, 2008 or until disputes have been resolved. This protection is not an endorsement of the current version. See the protection policy and protection log for more details. Please discuss any changes on the talk page; you may use the {{editprotected}} template to ask an administrator to make the edit if it is supported by consensus. You may also request that this page be unprotected.

In my blog posts, I wrote that I admired how the Wikipedia community is handling all of this. But check out the discussion here around edits. This is really going to put Wikipedia’s ideals to the test.
