Wikipedia Bias Influences How One’s Perception of Reality Is Perceived

This week, I had two separate meetings with people I’d never met before. In both, after the polite small talk, each confessed that before sitting down with me they had quickly “studied up” by glancing at my Wikipedia page. (Note to readers: Please don’t do the same.) My Wikipedia entry is not a neutral profile — it’s a hit job. It’s a curated “greatest hits” collection of my worst moments, or more precisely my critics’ worst caricatures of me.
