We will not post an article without your approval, and you can later make modifications to the article on your own. However, under Wikipedia rules, we are required to do our own research and submit a balanced article based on multiple sources. Wikipedia articles are NOT press releases or advertisements written by the company or its ad agency. As specified in Wikipedia Pillars: “Wikipedia has a neutral point of view. We strive for articles that advocate no single point of view. Sometimes this requires representing multiple points of view, presenting each point of view accurately and in context, and not presenting any point of view as "the truth" or "the best view." All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy: unreferenced material may be removed, so please provide references. Editors' personal experiences, interpretations, or opinions do not belong here. That means citing verifiable, authoritative sources, especially on controversial topics and when the subject is a living person. When conflict arises over neutrality, discuss details on the talk page, and follow dispute resolution.” </p> </div> </div> <button class="faq__item-arrow"></button> </div> </li> <li class="faq__item"> <p class="faq__item-num h2">03</p> <div class="faq__item-wrap"> <div class="faq__item-content"> <p class="faq__item-question p2"> Are there subjects not admissible to Wikipedia? </p> <div class="faq__item-answer"> <p class="p3"> Yes, and they are best summed up in another of the five Wikipedia Pillars: "Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia.

Here are some related observations: </p> <ul class="faq__item-answer-list p3"> <li class="faq__item-answer-item"> Wikipedia banned all companies and individuals from editing their own profiles, even if the profile is inaccurate, outdated or defamatory. </li> <li class="faq__item-answer-item"> In other words, your competitors, disgruntled ex-employees and other biased parties are allowed to edit your profile, but you are not permitted to do so. </li> <li class="faq__item-answer-item"> Wikipedia bans people and organizations for merely criticizing this policy. </li> <li class="faq__item-answer-item"> WikiExperts was banned from editing English Wikipedia for such criticism. </li> <li class="faq__item-answer-item"> The ban was NOT related to any violation of any Wikipedia rule; no such violation was even alleged in the motion for banning; the measure was explicitly worded as a retaliation for expressing a critical opinion about Wikipedia’s anti-commerce policies. </li> <li class="faq__item-answer-item"> We believe that such suppression of speech is a shameful low point in the history of Wikipedia and, likely, unlawful. </li> <li class="faq__item-answer-item"> Ironically, the ban is purely declarative: WikiExperts employees do not directly edit Wikipedia. Instead, we act as a consulting company which outsources such editing to most suitable affiliated experts. </li> <li class="faq__item-answer-item"> Wikipedia’s de-facto ban on paid editing is universally ignored. In a recent study conducted by the Public Relations Society of America, 40% of PR professionals admitted to having edited Wikipedia. It amounts to over a quarter of million of PR pros who take refuge in the Wikipedia’s "Ignore All Rules" policy which says: "If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it.” </li> <li class="faq__item-answer-item"> Businesses similarly ignore the ban. The same study showed that "24% of company pages were created by a PR team.” </li> <li class="faq__item-answer-item"> Even Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, famously whitewashed his own profile in violation of the ban of Conflict of Interest editing. </li> <li class="faq__item-answer-item"> Wikipedia traffic is commerce-dominated. 21 out of 25 highest-traffic articles on Wikipedia are related to commercial subjects: corporations, movies, books, TV series, etc. </li> </ul> </div> </div> <button class="faq__item-arrow"></button> </div> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="faq__line-button"> <div class="line-button"> <a href="{{ path('contact') }}" class="line-button__circle"> <span class="line-button__circle-text line-button__circle-text--active">contact us</span> </a> <div class="line-button__border line-button__border--contact"></div> <div class="line-button__line"> <div class="line-button__line-scroll"> <span class="line-button__text">Have any Questions?</span> <span class="line-button__text">Have any Questions?</span> <span class="line-button__text">Have any Questions?</span> <span class="line-button__text">Have any Questions?</span> <span class="line-button__text">Have any Questions?</span> <span class="line-button__text">Have any Questions?</span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section>{% endblock %}
