The Wikipedia page for Sen. Tim Kaine, who is rumored to be Hillary Clinton's pick for vice presidential running mate, had been edited more than 200 times by 4 p.m. on Friday.

The free online encyclopedia relies on registered users to make changes to its entries, but the website for The Atlantic magazine provides some context on what a high number of edits could mean when it comes to vice presidential contenders.

"In 2008, after John McCain’s surprise announcement that he had selected Sarah Palin as his running mate, The Washington Post reported an intriguing coincidence: Leading up to the announcement, Palin’s Wikipedia page had seen more than 65 edits over the course of the day."

And Kaine's page has seen nearly 250 edits on Friday alone, compared with fewer than 40 over the previous week.
