    Dear …,

    Have you ever wondered of having a Wikipedia page for yourself or your company? We can help you get a Wikipedia page for yourself or your brand.

    Why have a Wikipedia page?

    Google loves Wikipedia and as such ranks it high in search results. Wikipedia is
    also the first place people go when they Google your name. By leveraging
    Wikipedia, you can help control your Online Profile and present yourself to the
    world. Usually Wikipedia only accepts pages on celebrities and famous companies,
    if you are looking to get one for yourself, we can help you with that. Having a page
    for yourself in Wikipedia, brings you more credibility and makes you more
    famous. 

    We have been editing on Wikipedia for 9+ years and We’ve created tons of pages
    for companies, people, brands, products, and of course for academic purposes as
    well.

    We own multiple accounts on Wikipedia with page curation and new page
    reviewer rights, so we can create and moderate pages with almost zero risk of
    another mod taking it down. 

    There are few Wikipedia editors who are willing to create a page for money, and
    most of them are scared to offer this service directly, so they do it through their
    trusted sellers who mark up the price to $1500 - $2500 per page. 

    Because you’re buying directly from an experienced Wikipedia editor and mod,
    you’ll get your page a lot cheaper, faster and with more reliability. 

    Let me know if you are interested.

    Regards

      I’m guessing how that goes is you pay them, they do actually make you a page, it gets quickly deleted for not meeting Wikipedia’s standards, and then they go “sorry no refunds”. Step 0 to getting a Wikipedia page about yourself is to be notable enough for one, which >99.9% of people are not.

        And even if technically notable enough, you still need some objective sources for any claims made, even simple things like profession, even if your works speak for themselves. And what the mods deem an acceptable source seems arbitrary.

        I listen to a lot of indie music or local smaller bands, and often, even though they gig a lot and have several albums practically on every digital platform, I can’t find the bands in there, nor any of their members.

        Often there’s a red page there with some contributor discussions where they argue with each other about these things.

        Seems so wonky to me, since I just came from their gig, having listened to them for 10+ years.

          You can ask me about sources. We probably all know what “reliable” means, and claims may cite any reliable source (even sources written by the subject of the article if the fact is uncontroversial). However, for an article to be included in Wikipedia, and mainly so that it’s possible for the article to be improved so that it conforms with Wikipedia’s guidelines, articles must pass “notability” (a misnomer, see efforts to change its name); the biggest component of notability that’s most often failed is that there is enough coverage in reliable sources not written by the subject, and that’s precisely so that we won’t have an article that’s entirely the subject’s own puffery that turns out to be false or egregiously biased. (Not an admin because I probably have too short a temper, but nonetheless experienced.)

      I’m surprised and not surprised I guess that there’s a business offering to write Wikipedia articles like this. I suppose it’s naivety to think that Wikipedia articles are written with good intentions.

      For some reason they didn’t reach out to me after I received my doctorate in Geopsychology at Abide University…
