I don't understand why somebody didn't fork the Wikipedia and build the version where you can self promote. It kinda sucks that you are not allowed to claim and edit your Wikipedia page.
Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopaedia, which means it’s intended to come with some expectation of neutrality.
If you could edit your own page, do you really think it’d stay as factual and as neutral as possible?
Just make yourself a website.
I don't use LinkedIn but when I stumble upon someone's page, I often see testimonies from their work colleagues about them.
Often when I search for startups and their founders I can't find information about them on Wikipedia but I find it on Golden.
If it is without permission than it is illegal and people can sue otherwise web scraping is legal.
