Wikipedia was launched in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger as an open and free encyclopedia. So far, there are more than 65 million articles on Wikipedia in 343 languages. In theory, Wikipedia articles that have multiple language versions are a yardstick for the importance of knowledge about it for human civilization.
But in a report published by The Signpost, they found the efforts of an individual who tried to promote himself by having articles about himself published in 335 languages on Wikipedia. David Woodard is an artist from the United States, The Signpost found it strange that a person who is not generally known has articles in many languages. He has more articles on Wikipedia than the country of Turkey (332 articles) and Michael Jackson (279).
Based on the investigation, the first article about Woodward appeared in 2015. Through more than 200 accounts with various different IPs, articles about him began to be written in stages until they reached 343 articles. On average, an article about Woodward in a new language is produced every 6 days. It is believed that Woodward, or someone close to him, used Wikipedia to promote himself and his interests.
After this decade-long effort was discovered, Wikipedia editors for various languages began deleting articles about Woodward. At this point, only 20 articles about him still exist on Wikipedia.
In other words, don't be David Woodward using Wikipedia to carry his own basket. Instead, be Steven Pruittt who edited over 3 million articles in the English language on Wikipedia. His contribution is quite large with over 33,000 articles written by him and not a single one about himself.
