Wikipedia & Wikidata Advisory for Companies, Founders and Brands

Wikipedia is the foundational layer of public credibility. Every major LLM retrieves from it. Knowledge panels pull facts from Wikidata. Regulators, partner banks and enterprise procurement teams check it during diligence. We build that layer correctly — eligibility audit, neutral encyclopedic drafting, multilingual rollout, compliant submission support, monitoring — without promising outcomes we cannot deliver.

Eligibility & notability

The Wikipedia bar: independent, reliable, substantial

All three conditions must be true. Notability is established through independent press coverage, not through visibility on social media or self-published content.

Independent

Not affiliated with your company. Press releases, blogs and paid placements do not count.

Reliable

Reputable publications, established news outlets, recognized industry references — not personal blogs or content farms.

Substantial

Multi-paragraph in-depth coverage of your company specifically. Listicle mentions don't qualify.

Scope of work

What we do

  • Eligibility and notability assessment

  • • We do not promise control over independent communities.

See full Compliance & Ethics page for the framework, including paid-contribution disclosure (Wikimedia ToU), conflict-of-interest handling and approved language for proposals and reporting.

Process

8-step delivery workflow

Each step is a discrete deliverable with its own scope and decision gate. Drafting never starts before source review is closed; submission never happens before risk assessment is signed off.

Wikipedia's notability rules apply uniformly, but each industry has predictable signals that translate well to encyclopedic source quality.

FAQ

Wikipedia & Wikidata — common questions

Do you guarantee Wikipedia publication?

No. Wikipedia is an independent encyclopedia with its own editorial policies and community review. We focus on source analysis, neutral drafting, language adaptation, submission support, monitoring and transparent risk assessment.

Do you translate the article into other languages?

No. We localize. Each Wikipedia community has its own editorial norms, source preferences and depth conventions. Localization integrates local-language sources where they exist.

Why is English more expensive than other languages?

English Wikipedia is the flagship edition with higher visibility, stricter sourcing scrutiny and stronger strategic value. We keep it as the pricing anchor and do not discount it when bundled.

What about Wikidata vs Wikipedia?

Wikidata is structured data; Wikipedia is encyclopedic prose. They're complementary. A Wikidata entity typically follows from a Wikipedia article, not the other way around. We offer Wikidata + auxiliary work as a €650 add-on.
