When you go on a famous, living person's Wiki, and they're about 70 or whatever, and the photograph of them is from their 30s. You know, like an actress, or model.

Is this random people choosing and using these photographs, or is the famous person / their agent / their company they work with intentionally putting these photos there, so they're always young and beautiful?

Maybe its a pic of a time when they did something that made them famous?

In the case of people whose image goes hand in hand with their career (eg, actress, model) it makes sense to use a picture of how they appeared during their fame for historical purposes.

In a hundred years time a person looking them up would want to know how they looked during their famous years.

There's a THIRD OPTION?

To be fair, someone might be famous for a long time, but there's still an old picture.

Here's an example...

People editing their own wikis is way more common than anyone realizes. I know at least one musician (IRL) who did this.

I don't actually see why editing your own Wiki is bad.

Look at it this way: nobody knows you better than you know yourself.

A lot of famous people have agents or other people who work for them edit their wiki.

This is why sometimes that picture is the only one you can (easily) find. They're sometimes taken from a private social media account or the like.

Imagine if Trump edited his own Wiki entry. It'd be hilariously inaccurateand extremely disjointed and barely intelligible.

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.

That it doesn't look like an extended tweet makes me think he hasn't.
