The flaw of Wikipedia is that they prefer online sources. So you can just write some bullshit on your website and link it as a source.
Nothing on Wikipedia is actually verified in any meaningful way. Same with most of the Internet, too. Which makes most of it kinda meaningless. The nice part is that few people actually give a shit about the truth. As long as it feeds into their preconceived notion or they don't have a strong opinion either way, they won't bother to verify anything they hear or see.
So as long as you stay clear of topics people have strong opinions about you can make them believe essentially anything.
Posing as a scholar, a Chinese woman spent years writing alternative accounts of medieval Russian history on Chinese Wikipedia, conjuring imaginary states, battles, and aristocrats in one of the largest hoaxes on the open-source platform. The scam was exposed last month by Chinese novelist Yifan, who was researching for a book when he came upon an article on the Kashin silver mine. Discovered by Russian peasants in 1344, the Wikipedia entry goes, the mine engaged more than 40,000 slaves and freedmen, providing a remarkable source of wealth for the Russian principality of Tver in the 14th and 15th centuries as well as subsequent regimes. The geological composition of the soil, the structure of the mine, and even the refining process were fleshed out in detail in the entry.

Take a look at the takes below; "always posts fake shit". fuck my sides, maybe one in every two hundred, talk about melodramatic.
This is how paedos continue posting and no one notices or cares.
