A few of my colleagues at work had a running gag of building a persona around one of our coworkers as a joke.
The goal was to get a Wikipedia bio crediting him with inventing a particular variant of mullet in the 70s.
We were unsuccessful in getting him inventor status, but we did a bio page created, and prominently featured a picture of him with a mullet. You just need a few months and some savvy dealing with the bureaucrats on the site. Slowly make relevant edits to build facts on other articles and you are good to go.
It's funny how much the strengths and weaknesses of Wikipedia mirror communism in the Soviet Union.
When no one is above the rules, everyone is equal. But given strict adherence to the rules by everyone, enough time, and a collection of ignored misunderstandings that build on each other... change that is not actively opposed is guaranteed.
