Wikipedia Editors Are Trying to Destroy My Reputation | Max Lugavere

Описание: Wikipedia is often treated as a neutral source of truth — but how are public reputations actually shaped behind the scenes? In this in-depth conversation, health and science journalist ‪@maxlugavere‬ speaks with investigative journalist ‪@ashleyrindsbergmedia‬ about how his own Wikipedia page was hijacked by an editor with a clear agenda and he had no way to prevent it.

They discuss:

-What it’s like to have your identity rewritten online
-How a single editor can reshape a public narrative
-Reputational laundering through “neutral” platforms
-Why Wikipedia’s power now exceeds its accountability

NOTE: Since this interview was filmed, the Wikipedia user originally known as Veg Historian (formerly Psychology Guy) has changed their username again to Carrot Juice, highlighting the platform’s model of anonymous editors with little accountability

📌 This interview is not an argument for or against any ideology. It is an examination of how widely-used information platforms function, and why transparency and accountability matter.
