Promoting such sites in their search results must be contrary to their business interests. Over 20 years ago, I edited the Wikipedia disambiguation page on Eglantine, to list a nickname I used on an LoTR bulletin board as the second cousin of Pippin’s mother. I thought it was moderately clever and I was curious to see how long it would take to be reverted. It didn’t take long, but while it was up, a massive Russian site scraped it. It’s still there. Hobbits and ants both deserve better. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Wikipedian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedian</span></a> <a href="https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/881451" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki</span><span class="invisible">/881451</span></a></p>
