More importantly, however, anyone can delete spurious entries from Wikipedia. If Levicoff weren't generally considered an expert, his entry wouldn't still be up there.

Has anyone tried to edit the errors out of Levicoff's Wiki bio? I have. Within hours, it's restored. The bugger(er) must patrol his shrine like a hawk.

Lev's love for himself is only matched by that held by Bear and Douglas for self-love. It must be a wonder to be made happy by one's own opinion of one's self. It's a self perpetuating thing that grows and grows until one is ABNORMAL, and so they are.
Levicoff is a truck driving Homosexual with degrees from the worst RA colleges in America. Now what has he to be proud of?

Gosh, to me it would be pretty demoralizing to slap myself on the back and tell the world how great I am. I mean, how would they know if I'm right or just in love with the sound of my own voice? No, when a man has to build his own fan club and toot his own horn it's because no one else wanted the job.

Wikipedia has no credibility.
Unlike BRITANNICA and other well-established GENERAL encyclopaedias, it is FREE, so there is how it got popular to start with.
Many outright degree mills and other shady operations and dodgy individuals upload self-aggrandizing descriptions to rival entries in Britannica describing better known & established realities.
When Bear, Gollin, Des Elms, White, Brown etc will make it to Britannica or other time-trusted, peer-reviewed encyclopaedia, then they will be someone.
Until then, you get a bunch of jokers on the wrong medication and their pundit, a man who netted $50.000 in 1974 in nine months from the sale of "phoney doctorates to be used in America only" and claimed it all was for the sake of some children charity BUT pressed for details admits only a "fraction" of the amount (10%?) went "directly" to the charity...and receipts were "lost in the mail" is my wild guess.

Only 10% actually got to the right place, about what I expected. I imagine, as others have noted, that most of it probably went to Bear's favorite charity over the years--Bear's rent and grocery bills.
Wiki is to "them" just more free advertising. A way to look more believable and trustworthy. It is just another sales campaign.
