Predicting Harris' VP nominee based on who's scrubbing their Wikipedia page most

Unfortunately I can't change the original link. Perhaps dang can.
From Reddit > ExternalTangents > “Scrub” seems like poor phrasing, since the graph is just showing edits rather than deletions. This doesn’t imply that the candidate or people associated with them are trying to remove unpleasant stuff.
If I was an older ex-army Astronaut, I am unsure I'd be editing much on my wiki page. A low edit rate might simply be "I have gigantic balls and I don't care what people think here, because I have more important shit to deal with"
which frankly could apply to any of them.
"Scrub" is definitely a bit of a clickbait phrasing choice. In reality it's a combination of removing information they want to distance themselves from, as well as adding information to flesh out their resume and policy positions.
and I'll posit it's difficult to infer much that's solid from number of edits.
I could make the case that (for example) Buttigieg (very few recent edits) is an ideal candidate as very few edits implies there's nothing in his past that anyone feels the need to cover up or reframe.
Or equally that Shapiro (many edits) is getting a real polishing here, perhaps they're the first pick?
