Wikipedia sync for state politicians

Ideas for state politicians

1. scrape the wikipedia and ballotpedia, extract all links there.

2. check that wikipedia has an infobox, create it.

3. check the links to the official state website from wikipedia (is broken some times)

4. add links to wiki/ballotpedia in the json data

5. upload picture to wikipmedia commons

6. dont create new articles if not there, we can do that in phase II

7. dont remove any existing data, except broken links to the homepage (see in the example below, the link to the gov website was broken in the old version.)
