At Encyclopedia Gurus, we fully support Wikipedia’s mission and the Wikimedia Foundation’s goal of providing free, accessible knowledge to people around the world. As a trusted Wikipedia consulting firm, we are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards in all our interactions with the encyclopedia and its community of volunteer editors. We use this account to do paid editing work. Our Wikipedia-first approach ensures that our contributions align with the platform’s core principles and enhance its role as the world’s largest reference source.
Commitment to Wikipedia’s Mission
We believe in Wikipedia’s fundamental purpose—to make human knowledge freely available for the public good. Our work is guided by this principle, ensuring that we not only help our clients navigate Wikipedia but also contribute positively to its integrity as a public resource.
Ethical Practices & Compliance
We strictly adhere to Wikipedia’s conflict of interest (COI) guidelines. Neither we nor our clients directly edit Wikipedia articles. Instead, we propose edits on talk pages, allowing the Wikipedia community to review, discuss, and implement changes as appropriate. Any direct edits we make are done transparently and only with express permission from reviewing editors, in full compliance with community-approved processes.
Transparency & Accountability
All our interactions with the Wikipedia community take place openly on the platform. We fully disclose any conflicts of interest, both our own and those of our clients, in accordance with Wikimedia Foundation’s Terms of Use. Our approach ensures that our contributions are transparent, accountable, and respectful of Wikipedia’s collaborative editing process.
Wikipedia-First Approach
We never advocate for edits that violate Wikipedia’s content policies. Any content we propose strictly follows Wikipedia’s key principles:
- Verifiability – Information must be backed by reliable, independent sources appropriate for Wikipedia.
- Neutrality – Content must be written objectively, without bias or promotional intent.
- No Original Research – All statements must be supported by published sources, avoiding speculation or opinion.
- Encyclopedic Value – Content must enhance Wikipedia’s role as a reference work, rather than serving marketing purposes.
Our goal is to help tell our clients’ stories in a way that aligns with Wikipedia’s mission, without undermining competitors or compromising editorial integrity.
Collaboration with the Wikipedia Community
We respect and appreciate the dedication of Wikipedia’s volunteer editors, who sustain and improve the encyclopedia. Our approach is designed to support their efforts, not burden them. We propose only legitimate contributions that benefit Wikipedia and its readers, and we actively engage with the community online and at industry events to improve processes that serve the broader movement.
At Encyclopedia Gurus, we are committed to ethical Wikipedia engagement—working with the community, following best practices, and ensuring that Wikipedia remains a reliable and unbiased source of knowledge.
