That’s just a problem with the nature of Wikipedia, not hypocrisy by one author. You can trace the writing through the “history” tab at the top of the page. The sentence about Fleming being obnoxious, for instance, was added by GaeusOctavius, and its objectivity has been (rightfully) questioned. Gaeus appears to be a Caltech student, whereas the other material is most likely from HM students. (He also added a snide comment about Caltech students considering putting up a similar sign prank for Harvey Mudd and then deciding they had better things to do, but this was removed because there apparently isn’t such a sign.)

The boasts about stealing the cannon and the section on prank ethics were probably also by different people, although you’d have to check…
