Thank you for your own fact-checking. Not all of those publications are considered "reliable sources" by Wikipedia. It will be interesting to see if any of them prints a retraction, or if this gets added to her article as a "controversy".
For anyone who is interested, the Wikipedia policy on biographies of living persons does have a section on "Dealing with articles about yourself <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Dealing_with_articles_about_yourself> ". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Dealing_with_articles_about_yourself On Fri, Feb 15, 2019 at 1:08 PM Alexandre Hocquet < [email protected]> wrote: > Dear Education listers, > > As a historian of science in higher education, I have been developping a > course focusing on Wikipedia in recent years, and some may have heard of > the WikiMOOC I presented at Wikimania MOntreal (though I only played a > modest role in the WikiMOOC saga) > > My course is pedagocally relying on anecdotes that say much about > Wikipedia principles, Wikipedia comunity and how Wikipedia is regarded. > > I am today very happy that my first anecdote in English has been > published.
