Wikipedia claims to be edited by volunteers rather than by paid editors who are pushing the point of view of their clients.
Wikipedia claims to be edited by volunteers rather than by paid editors who are pushing the point of view of their clients.
In theory, Wikipedia articles are supposed to be written by disinterested volunteers based on reliable secondary sources. However, because Google will rank a Wikipedia article as the first result when a person searches on the article's title, public relations firms and "reputation management" companies work hard to remove any negative or controversial facts from Wikipedia articles relating to their clients. Although such paid editing is not allowed, Wikipedia does little to enforce its rules against paid editing and there are numerous examples of paid editors introducing biased content on behalf of their clients.
