Online Impersonations: No Validation Required
Dr. Neal Krawetz, 2007-04-20

Back when I lived in the Silicon Valley, there was an ongoing employment scam. Prospective employees would show up with perfect resumes and immediately get hired. It would not take long before it was clear that these people did not have the experience stated on their resumes. Within six months they would be fired. However, now they had six months of legitimate experience with real companies that they could reference. Their next jobs might not be as good or glamorous, but it would be much better than if they started with their real resumes.

It's not true that in Wikipedia you shouldn't edit yourself the offending article. The procedure for handling disputes and abuse is exactly for that:disputes that cannot be solved by goodwill. Citing from Wikipedia: "Intentional vandalism can be reported and corrected by anyone." And false claimings of competence is, IMNSHO, clear vandalism, if irrelevant.
