Wikipedia editing process and oversight

Here’s what I don’t understand about Wikipedia, Rob can’t add his name to a list of natives for his hometown:

I posted my name under the “natives” section, which lists natives of my town, and someone removed me. I posted again, someone removed my name again. More due to a stubborn streak than anything else, this process has gone through 8 cycles over the last month of me posting, being erased and posting again.
But this politician (who you would think would have a higher profile than Rob) can have his staffers update his bio and nobody notices.
Members of U.S. Rep. Martin Meehan’s staff have acknowledged they deleted unflattering information about a broken campaign promise from an online encyclopedia, according to a published report.
WTF is going on over there?
