What we will and will not do
Short sentences, each one backed by a clause in our terms. If a firm offers you anything from the second list, it is breaking Wikipedia’s rules and putting your name at risk.
We will
- Tell you in writing if your case does not meet the guideline, before you pay anything.
- Disclose on Wikipedia that we are paid, by whom, and for whom, on every edit, as the policy requires.
- Tell you before you pay that your name will be public as our client.
- Write only from independent, published sources, and cite each one.
- Have a person write every sentence, and keep dated drafts that show how.
- Send every draft to you for approval before it goes anywhere.
- Submit new articles through Articles for Creation and propose changes to existing ones on the talk page.
- Report to you after any reviewer action.
- Stop, and say so in writing, when nothing more can be improved.
- Answer any editor’s question about our work truthfully, including questions about how a draft was written.
We will not
- Guarantee publication, a date, or that a page will stay up.
- Edit a live article about a client from any account, disclosed or not.
- Use undisclosed accounts, ask anyone else to edit for us, or ask you to edit.
- Claim any special standing on Wikipedia. We are paid editors with no authority beyond any volunteer’s.
- Cite press releases, paid placements, sponsored content, or interviews you gave.
- Use coverage we arranged for you as a source for your article.
- Remove accurate, well-sourced negative material, or remove maintenance tags ourselves.
- Contact, pressure or argue with volunteer reviewers off Wikipedia.
- Resubmit a draft without a real improvement.
- Sell “protection”, “monitoring” that implies control, or a Google knowledge panel.
If you have a concern
Write to info@wikiauthoritygroup.com and a named person will reply. You can also read what Wikipedia itself says about paid editing before you hire anyone: the paid-contribution disclosure policy, the conflict of interest guideline, and the scam warning, which lists the promises no honest firm will make.
