Wikipedia finds a case of long-term vandalism

About a year ago, an unknown “genius” published an article on Wikipedia pages dealing with issues of a certain NPA personality theory (NPA — narcissism, perfectionism, aggression). Recently it became known that scientific work is simply self-promotion, since the theory itself is completely unfamiliar to professional psychologists. In addition, all existing publications on the PPA one way or another refer to the article in the open encyclopedia. By the way, during its existence, the article managed to get into the list of the best publications, which included only six articles on psychology, reports Daveydweeb.blog .



The case once again underlines the vulnerability of Wikipedia to this type of fraudsters who place pseudoscientific materials on the resource pages to draw attention to their own person.
