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?
