Looks like a non-story really. Anyone can review the page history [1]:
Page was of interest, got vandalized [5] , got reverted [4] several times, particularly problematic edits were oversighted [2] , eventually page got semi-protected [3] so editor workload was reduced. Libelous edits were removed. All this in < 24 hours.
Possibly some bored (teenagers) during lunch break?
This is exactly how the system is supposed to work by the way. People should be aware that there can be a short window between when vandalism appears and when it gets caught.
