Conflict of Interest Wikipedian


Ethical organizations are often motivated to make articles on Wikipedia more complete, accurate, updated, neutral and clear, but even good-intentioned professionals unknowingly violate Wikipedia's 200+ policies and guidelines, write copy that is inappropriate for Wikipedia and break ethical practice. SEO, advertising and marketing firms are entrusted with the responsibility of understanding and following good ethical practices within their expertise. It's time we do the same for Wikipedia.

My Experience

I have four years of experience as a COI Wikipedian, serving Fortune 500 companies, politicians, non-profits, startups and companies of all sizes. My approach is open, honest, transparent, lawful; I play the role of a diplomat and author, rather than anonymous or spammy edits.
