I find it amusing that one of the high crimes of editing from Parliament was to correctly fix that "Red Ken’s last name is indeed ‘Livingstone’ and not ‘Twatface’".

It is well known that the people working in the Houses of Parliament are basement-dwelling louts, while the Wikipedians who write their biographies are democratically elected representatives of the people, who got to that position based on hard work, and a thorough and painstaking public evaluation of their judgment, fair-mindedness and good character.

It is probably a conservative estimate to say that at least one in six parliamentary biographies will at some time over the past few years have had some sort of vandalism or BLP violation in it that someone in the Houses of Parliament might have noticed, and been tempted to fix.
