Sources have recently reported that IAPA professor Nathan Gold clearly wrote his own Wikipedia page.
“I think it’s a great sign that someone took the time to write a little background about me,” said Gold, whose “Professional Career” section describes his work as “the most important contribution to international politics since the Treaty of Westphalia.” “To see my work finally get the recognition it deserves feels really good.”
“I generally don’t consider Wikipedia a reliable source, but I must say, whoever wrote this did their research,” continued Gold, whose “Personal Life” section includes the name of both of his cats and his favorite restaurant in Providence. “I guess I’m finally starting to make waves, and people are noticing.”
“Being a bit more high-profile will definitely open me up to online trolls and bots, but I’m confident the editors at Wikipedia will stay on top it,” added Gold, whose page suspiciously lacked a “Controversies and Criticisms” section despite all those years he spent in Iraq as a policy advisor. “That’s the price you pay to be at the top of your field, I guess.”
At press time, a junior clearly wrote her own letters of recommendation.
