How we find the right Wikipedia authors to ensure your article gets published

In theory, anyone can create a Wikipedia entry. According to Wikipedia’s concept, anyone can contribute and write an article. However, the actual publication requires meeting strict conditions and established guidelines — from determining a topic’s notability to following content and formatting rules that must be observed during creation.
Following all these guidelines is nearly impossible without prior experience. It takes time and patience to locate and understand Wikipedia’s rules, and it also requires a strong sense of nuance to strike the correct encyclopedic tone.
You can, of course, write your own Wikipedia article — but it must then be reviewed and approved by a community member. If it does not meet Wikipedia’s requirements, it will be rejected. As an agency, we work with experienced Wikipedia authors who create content that fully aligns with Wikipedia’s standards. And if the community provides feedback, we can address it constructively to give your article the best chance of ultimately being published.

Wikipedia notability criteria

Wikipedia’s notability criteria are an essential tool for evaluating topics and determining which subjects qualify for an article. The overview below highlights several notability requirements for organizations and companies. Even if your business or organization does not clearly meet these criteria, we are happy to review your specific case through a free notability check.

Notability criteria for companies
Put simply: companies are considered notable if they generate at least 100 million euros in annual revenue or have more than 1,000 employees. Companies listed on a stock exchange are also considered notable. Additional criteria may apply on a case-by-case basis, and we are happy to provide a professional assessment.

Notability criteria for foundations
Foundations are considered notable if they have a full-time managing director or receive regular media coverage at a regional or national level.

Notability criteria for associations
The criteria for associations are less clearly defined and often require the judgment of an experienced Wikipedia author. Associations are generally notable if they have significant regional influence or a large membership base.

Notability criteria for other organizations
There are also specific criteria catalogs for other types of organizations, such as educational institutions, public authorities, or political parties. If you’re unsure whether your organization meets the requirements, feel free to contact us — we will gladly assess its notability for you.

Wikipedia for public figures

A Wikipedia article is incredibly valuable for public figures. It provides a platform to document and highlight their achievements, career, and contributions to society. In addition, a Wikipedia entry increases visibility, offering a reliable and neutral source of information for journalists, researchers, and the general public.

Wikipedia for companies and organizations

Many mid-sized companies qualify as relevant for the German Wikipedia — this is where additional notability criteria may apply. A company should have at least 20 operating locations or a dominant market position in a relevant product category. Feel free to contact us if you’d like to have a Wikipedia article created; we may be able to assist you in developing a suitable entry.

As professional Wikipedia authors, we not only support companies looking to have their articles written. We also assist you if you’re searching for Wikipedia authors to update your existing entry or create an article in another language.

Updating a Wikipedia article

Some Wikipedia entries are simply outdated, factually incorrect, or poorly written. In some cases, the article may have been created by an inexperienced member of a marketing team. Although it was accepted at the time, it no longer meets today’s quality standards. In situations like these, it makes sense to have the article professionally revised. Our Wikipedia authors first review the existing entry, then update and expand it with accurate, current information to ensure you receive a polished, up-to-date article.

Finding Wikipedia authors for entries in other languages

For international companies, a German article is often not enough. If you need an English article to improve global visibility, our Wikipedia authors can create it for you. However, here’s an important note: the criteria for the English Wikipedia differ from those of the German version. We are highly familiar with the English-language Wikipedia and are happy to support you with your content creation needs. The English Wikipedia does not use Germany’s relevance criteria — instead, it follows notability guidelines. This means your company or organization must have substantial, high-quality, independent media coverage to qualify for inclusion.
Feel free to contact us for creating Wikipedia content in other languages as well!

Why can’t I compare my article to other Wikipedia entries?

For changes to be accepted on Wikipedia, an article must meet certain requirements. These include both formal and content-specific guidelines. They are defined by the Wikipedia community and are the result of years of collaboration among established Wikipedia editors — and we adhere to them strictly.

Reasons why you should never compare yourself to other articles:

Different availability of sources:
Another topic may have had more sources available, allowing more information to be included in the article during content creation.

Older article:
As interest in obtaining a Wikipedia entry has increased, the community has become more strict when reviewing new articles. What was approved five years ago may no longer meet today’s standards.

Question of notability:
If a competitor has a Wikipedia page, it may seem logical that you should get one as well. However, this often comes down to notability, and there may be a key difference that only experienced Wikipedia specialists can identify.

Publishing your entry with our Wikipedia authors — here’s how it works:

After one of our experienced Wikipedia authors creates a draft, you receive it for review. We make as many revision rounds as needed until you are fully satisfied and all your requests have been incorporated. After that, one of our team members guides you through creating the Wikipedia entry and submitting it for review. You press the keys — we simply guide you through the process.
