Theoretically, anyone can create a Wikipedia entry . According to Wikipedia's concept, anyone can contribute and write a Wikipedia article. However, actual publication is subject to certain prerequisites and fixed guidelines, ranging from determining the relevance of a topic to adhering to content and formatting rules. These must be considered when creating content.
Following all these rules is virtually impossible for someone unfamiliar with Wikipedia. Besides the time and patience required to find and internalize Wikipedia's guidelines, it also demands a certain finesse to strike the right tone for an article.You can create your own Wikipedia article, but it will then need to be reviewed and approved by a member of the community. If the article doesn't meet Wikipedia's requirements, it will be rejected. As an agency, we work with experienced Wikipedia authors who only create articles that comply with Wikipedia's guidelines. And if there is any criticism from the community, we can address it constructively so that your article can still be published on Wikipedia.
Wikipedia's relevance criteria are an important tool for evaluating topics and deciding which topics receive a Wikipedia entry. This overview lists some of the relevance criteria for organizations and companies – if your company or organization does not meet these criteria, we would still be happy to review your specific case in a free relevance check.
Relevance criteria for companies
In short: Companies are relevant if they have either an annual turnover of at least €100 million or more than 1,000 employees. Companies are also relevant if they are listed on a stock exchange. There are other criteria that may determine relevance on a case-by-case basis; we are happy to provide a professional assessment.
Relevance criteria for foundations
Foundations are relevant if they have a full-time managing director or are regularly mentioned in the media on a national level.
Relevance criteria for clubs
The criteria for associations are less clear and often require the assessment of an experienced Wikipedia editor. Associations are relevant, among other things, if they have supra-regional significance or a large membership.
Relevance criteria for other organizations
Criteria catalogs also exist for other organizations, such as educational institutions, government agencies, or political parties. If you are unsure, contact us, and we will assess your organization's relevance.
A Wikipedia article is invaluable for public figures. It provides a platform to document and celebrate their achievements, career, and contributions to society. Furthermore, a Wikipedia entry increases their visibility. It offers a reliable and neutral source of information for journalists, researchers, and the general public.
Many medium-sized companies are relevant to the Wikipedia – this is where the additional relevance criteria come into play. For this to apply, the company should have at least 20 locations or a dominant market position in a relevant product group. Feel free to contact us if you would like to have a Wikipedia article written; we may be able to help you create a Wikipedia entry.
As a professional Wikipedia agency, we not only help companies that want to have Wikipedia articles written. We also help you if you want to edit your Wikipedia entry or want an entry in another language.
Some Wikipedia entries are simply outdated, factually incorrect, or poorly written. Perhaps the article was created by an inexperienced member of the marketing team. Although the article was published at the time, it doesn't meet today's quality standards. In all these cases, it makes sense to have the Wikipedia entry edited. Our Wikipedia authors first review the existing article and then amend and supplement it with current information, so you receive an up-to-date, engaging article.
For international companies, a German article is often insufficient. If you would like an English article for international discoverability, you can also have us write this Wikipedia article. However, please note: the criteria for the English Wikipedia differ from those for the German version. We are also very familiar with the English Wikipedia and would be happy to assist you with creating it for Wikipedia. In the English Wikipedia, relevance criteria do not apply, but rather the notability requirement. This means: Your company or organization must be able to provide high-quality, independent press coverage to be included in the English Wikipedia. Please also contact us for Wikipedia articles in other languages!
To be accepted on Wikipedia, a Wikipedia entry must meet certain requirements. These include both formal and content-related requirements. These are defined by the Wikipedia community and are the product of years of collaboration between established Wikipedia authors—we strictly adhere to these specifications.
Different sources:
For a different topic, there may have been more sources, allowing more information to be included in the article for content creation.
Older article:
As interest in getting a Wikipedia entry grows, the community becomes more rigorous in scrutinizing new articles. Something approved five years ago may no longer meet current standards.
Notability question:
If your competitor has a Wikipedia page, it seems logical that you should get one too. However, this is often a matter of relevance, and there may be a crucial difference that only Wikipedia experts can detect.
After one of our experienced Wikipedia editors has created an improvement to your current entry, you will receive it for review. We will make as many revisions as necessary until you are satisfied with the result and all your Wikipedia article requests have been incorporated. Following this, one of our colleagues will assist you in submitting the Wikipedia entry for review. You simply press the keys, and we will guide you through the process.
