Theoretically, anyone can write their own Wikipedia entry. That's the concept of Wikipedia—anyone can participate and write a Wikipedia article. However, certain requirements apply to actual publication. Wikipedia has strict guidelines, from determining the relevance of a topic to content and formal rules that must be considered when creating content. Following all these rules is virtually impossible if you're not familiar with Wikipedia. It takes not only time and patience to find and internalize Wikipedia's guidelines, but also a certain sensitivity to strike the right tone for an article.When you create a Wikipedia entry for a company, you need to filter which information is relevant and which isn't. 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 authors who only create articles that comply with Wikipedia's guidelines. And if there is criticism from the community, we can address it constructively so your article can still appear on Wikipedia.
Wikipedia's relevance criteria are an important tool for evaluating topics and deciding which topics will receive a Wikipedia entry. The overview here lists some of the relevance criteria for organizations and companies . If your company or organization doesn't meet these criteria, we would be happy to review your specific case with a free relevance check.
A Wikipedia article can have several benefits for companies. It provides a platform for companies to showcase their history, products, and services, while also improving search engine visibility. Furthermore, such an article conveys credibility and trust, as Wikipedia is viewed as a reliable and unbiased source of information.
A Wikipedia article is invaluable for public figures. It documents and celebrates their achievements, careers, and contributions to society. It also increases visibility and prestige, as it is often among the first search results. A Wikipedia entry is therefore not just recognition, but a tool for communication and building a positive image.
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Some Wikipedia entries are hopelessly outdated or simply inaccurate in their content. Older articles may have been created by an inexperienced member of the marketing team. Although the article passed at the time, it doesn't meet Wikipedia's quality standards.In all of these cases, it makes sense to have the Wikipedia entry edited. We first review the existing article and then modify and supplement it with current information, ensuring you receive an engaging, up-to-date article that complies with Wikipedia guidelines.
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 authors has created a preliminary article, you'll receive it for proofreading. We'll go through as many revisions as necessary until you're satisfied with the result and all your Wikipedia article requests have been incorporated. One of our colleagues will then help you create the Wikipedia entry and submit it for review. You'll just press the buttons, and we'll guide you.
