Can any company or person have a Wikipedia page?

No. Wikipedia requires the subject to meet encyclopedic notability criteria: significant coverage in independent and verifiable sources. WikiStart assesses each case for eligibility before any work begins.

Why can’t I edit my own Wikipedia page or create one myself?

Wikipedia prohibits edits with a conflict of interest. When a company or person edits their own article, the content is usually reverted or flagged as promotional, which can result in the article being deleted. WikiStart acts as an independent editor to avoid this problem.

What happens if there is already a Wikipedia page about me or my company with incorrect information?

Inaccurate information on Wikipedia can be corrected, but doing so requires a careful editorial process. WikiStart manages corrections in a way that does not trigger the review mechanisms that can lead to the deletion of the article.

How long does it take to create or edit a Wikipedia page?

Creating a Wikipedia page from scratch takes between 4 and 10 weeks. The process includes sourcing verifiable references, encyclopedic writing, publication, and stabilization of the article.

Does having a Wikipedia page improve Google rankings?

Yes. Wikipedia has one of the highest domain authority scores on the internet. In addition, generative AI models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and others use Wikipedia as a primary source, which increases the visibility of brands and individuals in AI-generated responses.

What does the WikiStart service include?

WikiStart offers: eligibility diagnosis, research and validation of sources, encyclopedic article writing, publication on Wikipedia, article monitoring, and post-publication corrections.
