Do you have any examples of Wikipedia pages you've been paid to create and, of course, their accompanying conflict of interest disclosure notices as required by WP:NOPAY?

How often is the published content prone to changes from another party on Wikipedia?

Often. But our Wikipedia Monitoring Services help keep a constant check on your pages, keeping such incidents at bay. To avoid any and all kinds of unknown and/or unauthenticated alterations, speak to our team today and take the next step to adding security to your Wikipedia page.

I don't think I've ever heard a more perfect description of what it means to violate WP:OWN. Promising to "avoid any and all kinds of unknown and/or unauthenticated alterations" is sketchy at best and definitely isn't in the spirit of the platform.


Wikipedia is one of the great accomplishments internet age, truly highlighting the potential of the web as a medium for the free and open exchange of information; a real modern digital Library of Alexandria. It is disheartening to see companies exploiting that for a profit.
