"just as a marketing tactic"

The article I linked claimed, that indeed quite a few persons in rural india believed wikipedia. Also labour in india is cheap, I doubt he did it himself, but payed someone to do it.

In general, many people do trust wikipedia. And PR companies get payed much more, to get some information inside.
