Posted: Fri Jul 01, 2022 8:37 pm
A Chinese Housewife with a high-school education goes bat-s-hit crazy and creates thousands of fake articles over 10 years.
Zhemao published an apology letter on her English Wikipedia account, writing that her motivation was to learn about history
‘Zhemao’, assures that she, in fact, is a full-time housewife and that he only has a degree in secondary education. She has also taken the opportunity to write a few lines by way of apology.
“I was reluctant to delete the hundreds of thousands of words I wrote, but as a result, I ended up losing millions of words, and a circle of academic friends collapsed. The problems I have caused are difficult to compensate for, so perhaps the only option is a permanent ban. My current knowledge is not enough to make a living. So in the future I’ll learn a trade, work honestly, and never do nebulous things like this again,” she says.

The dependency on Google. The interdependencies between Wikipedia and Google are a reality. For many query categories, Wikipedia links appear more than any other website on Google’s search engine results pages (SERPs). This suggests that Wikipedia, a volunteer-created resource, plays an essential role in helping Google achieve its core function.
The study. In an investigation carried out by Northwestern University (USA) they discovered that the results extend to a great extent to other search engines. For desktop SERPs, Wikipedia appeared in 81-84% of search results for common queries, 67-72% for trending queries, and 16-54% for medical queries.
