Step-by-Step Guide to Compose a Wikipedia Page for a Company

Creating a Wikipedia page for a company requires some extra efforts and expertise as compared to writing about a person. To cover the wide information of the firm involves the accumulation of statistics and graphs along with the right dates and details of individual events.

Composing a page for a company set individual set of guidelines present on the official site. If you want to learn about how to write a Wikipedia page for a company, you must first go through the detailed principles and policies. The Wikipedia Guidelines states that:

“The person who is the topic of a biographical article should be ‘worthy of notice’ or ‘note’ – that is, ‘remarkable’ or ‘significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded’ within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life. ‘Notable’ in the sense of being ‘famous’ or ‘popular’ – although not irrelevant – is secondary.”

To help you compose a wiki page here are some basic tips:

Create an Account

You have to sign up the Wikipedia site and create your account. Do not add a link to your company as it will make it look like a company-sponsored account. Wikipedia does not support promotional content. By having an account you will be able to edit and upload your account.

Compose the Article

While composing the article you have to carry out extensive research and gather all the links to the sources from where you have extracted information.

Citation- it is equally important as it speaks about the authenticity of your article.

Notability- Make sure your content is notable. The company must be authentic and reliable. Your topic must be interesting enough for the readers. 

After writing the article, you have to check for errors. You have to make sure that your article has a proper flow and is free from any flaws. It should not have any grammatical errors and do make sure that you do not go for over-editing. Sometimes we delete our sentences and change structures in order to fix the content but end up ruining the entire flow.

Once you have composed the article and proofread it completely, send it to the editor. The editor will check and approve it for publishing. 

Just when your article will get published, you will receive a notification and all those times when a reader makes any kind of changes, you will be notified and a file of changes will get stored in your account. It will be completely up to you to either revert the changes or save them.
