Wikipedia page editing
Wikipedia page editing and updates: new facts, reliable sources, neutral tone
We update existing Wikipedia pages: new facts with reliable sources, corrections of outdated information, stronger references and removal of promotional tone. You approve the text before publication, the edits are made in series, and the payment is disclosed on Wikipedia in WikiBusines' name. Price €700–€1,900, 2–3 weeks.
WikiBusines: editing is for pages that already exist; on a page we created, the first 90 days of defence are already in the price, and yearly support starts at €720.

01 Services for an existing Wikipedia page
Wikipedia editing, annual support or page recovery: which one you need
Wikipedia editing is a one-off project for a live article. Annual support covers regular updates and monitoring of the page. Recovery is for an article that was deleted or nominated for deletion.
One project of 2–3 weeks: audit, plan, a draft for your approval, edits in a series.
If you have several such events a year, Annual Support is better value: the updates are already in the plan.
Tone, sources, structure. The template itself is removed by an independent editor once the problem is fixed: the rules do not let a paid editor do it.
We present the section neutrally and in balance, and add the company's position with sources. If it keeps happening, that calls for ongoing monitoring rather than a one-off edit.
Scheduled updates in one plan. This plan has no continuous monitoring.
This is oversight, not a one-off edit: change alerts, and our editors respond to unwanted edits and warnings.
We read the editors' arguments and tell you whether there is a chance and which route to take.
A gap analysis of the sources, a plan for republishing, or another route if recovery is not realistic.
- The article exists and is live, but outdated, inaccurate or tagged
- Audit, plan, draft, edits in a series
- Monitoring after handover is not included

02 How a Wikipedia edit is made
The Wikipedia editing process: from audit to page history
Five stages of one edit: an audit of the article, paid-contribution disclosure on the talk page, the change with its source, the entry in the page history, the updated article.

03 Gradual editing
Gradual Wikipedia edits: series instead of one large change
A large edit is hard to review on Wikipedia, so it is easier for editors to revert it in full. A small change with a source is checked quickly. We therefore make edits in series over 5–10 days, and the article stays stable.
- One edit covering half the article. Seven changes at once, with no explanation on the talk page.
- A patroller notices. A large change from a user connected to the company.
- Reverted in full. The promotional phrases go, and the correct facts go with them.
- A template on the article. “A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject.”
- Disclosure. The editor's user page and the article's talk page.
- Series 1: sources. Press releases replaced with independent outlets.
- Series 2: facts. The 2025 figures.
- A volunteer fixes the style. The article is being read and checked.
- Series 3: tone. Evaluative wording in the lead.
- An editor's comment. Asks to shorten the “Products” section.
- Reworked and agreed on the talk page.
- Series 4: structure. Sections and infobox.
- An independent editor removes the template.
- Step 1Page audit
We review the current state of the article and its edit history: outdated content, structure, weak sources.
week 1 - Step 2Change plan
A list of edits, each tied to a reliable source. Anything that reads as promotional is left out.

The article is current. Every edit, with its summary, stays in Wikipedia's public history.

Updates across several sections, weak sources replaced, the infobox aligned. The middle of the range.
- two to four sections
- every existing source checked

Structure, tone and sources together
An article with a warning, or out of date by several years: sections rebuilt, a neutral tone, many new sources. Closer to the high end.
- restructuring
- removing the promotional tone
- work on the talk page
Several language editions or a complex case
Each language edition is a separate community and separate work. We quote such projects after a brief review.

05 Editing Wikipedia yourself
Editing your own Wikipedia page: the risks and three routes
Edits made without disclosing the connection to the company violate Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest (WP:COI) and paid-editing (WP:PAID) policies. The same change can be made in three ways, with different outcomes.
- An employee edits the articleFrom their own account or anonymously, without mentioning the link to the company.
- The edit history is publicEditors see who changed what, and they notice a promotional tone.
- The edit is revertedThe article may get a conflict-of-interest warning.
{{COI}}{{Undisclosed paid}} - The account may be blockedAnd the trace stays in the article's history for good.
- You disclose the linkOn your own user page and on the article's talk page.
- You file an edit request“Replace X with Y”, with a source, on the talk page.
{{edit COI}} - You wait for a volunteerOn English Wikipedia a reply can take anywhere from a day to several months.
- The community decidesIt accepts, asks for changes or declines.
- Audit and planWhat to change, what supports it, and what is better left alone.
- Draft for approvalYou see the text before it appears on Wikipedia.
- Edits in a series, disclosedOur editors make them in WikiBusines' name; we explain each change on the talk page.
- An updated articleEvery edit stays in the public history: what, when, and what supports it.

06 Wikipedia language editions
Updating a page across Wikipedia language editions: each one separately
Each Wikipedia language edition is a separate community with its own editors, discussions and sourcing requirements. We do not translate the English article word for word: the edit is made in each language separately, with sources that edition accepts.
One fact, five language editions. In each we look for a source that this particular community accepts.
The same figures, different sources: a local business outlet counts for more than a translation of an English-language one.
Renaming an article follows each edition's own rules and often goes through a discussion.

07 Wikipedia editing FAQ
Wikipedia editing: price, timing, rules
How much does Wikipedia page editing cost?
Editing is priced by scope within a range of €700–€1,900. A focused update of one section or a citation fix sits at the low end; an update across several sections with source checks and structural cleanup costs more. Complex and multi-language projects are quoted individually after a brief scope review.
How long does a Wikipedia editing project take?
Typically 2–3 weeks: the audit, the plan and the draft, then 5–10 days of gradual edits. Small changes spread over several days give the community time to review them, and the article stays stable. If you have a deadline, tell us at once: sometimes the timeline can be shortened.
Can you update a Wikipedia page in multiple languages at once?
Yes. We coordinate the changes between editions, but each language edition is edited separately, to its own community's sourcing expectations, not translated verbatim from the English version.
Why can't I just edit the Wikipedia page myself?
You can, but edits made without disclosure by the subject, their staff or their agency violate Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest policy (WP:COI) and paid-editing policy (WP:PAID). Such edits are reverted, can lead to the page being tagged or put up for deletion, and the accounts can be blocked. We disclose the payment on every project and work within the rules.
Is there a risk my Wikipedia edit will be reverted?
There is. That is why we work gradually, explain the changes on the talk page and support every claim with a source. Nobody can guarantee that the Wikipedia community will accept every change. If an edit is reverted, we go through the comments and propose a version that fits the rules.
Is it visible on Wikipedia that the edits are paid?
Yes. We always disclose a paid contribution in WikiBusines' name: on the editor's user page, on the article's talk page and in edit summaries. The Wikimedia Terms of Use require it, and disclosure is what protects the article in the long run. We turn down projects that ask us to hide the connection.
What kinds of changes can you make to an existing Wikipedia page?
Adding new reliably sourced facts and milestones, correcting outdated information, improving structure and readability, replacing weak or outdated sources with stronger ones, updating the infobox, removing the promotional language that caused a warning, and coordinating the same updates across several language editions.
How are edits made on existing Wikipedia pages?
Through small, gradual edits by experienced editors over 5–10 days, with the talk page kept in order. We avoid sudden mass changes: they look promotional, are hard to review and are easy to revert in full.
Can you remove criticism from a Wikipedia article?
Wikipedia keeps criticism that reliable sources support, so it cannot simply be deleted. We present the section neutrally and in balance: we correct inaccuracies, remove claims without reliable sources, and add the company's position with a reference to the sources where it is stated.
How does Wikipedia editing differ from annual support and page recovery?
Editing is a one-off project: we bring the article up to date. Annual Support is updating through the year (up to 4 updates in the Annual Support plan at €720), and Managed Protection at €1,500 adds continuous monitoring; a quarterly executive summary comes with Enterprise Governance only. Recovery is for when an article has been deleted or nominated for deletion, and we quote it per case. Annual Support →
Can a Wikipedia article be protected from other people's edits?
Only Wikipedia administrators set page protection, and not in advance: they do it in response to vandalism or an edit war. It cannot be bought. Within Annual Support we can watch the article and respond to unwanted changes. Guarantees →
What happens if someone changes the Wikipedia article after the project?
Wikipedia is open to everyone, so changes are always possible. One-off editing includes no monitoring. For alerts on edits there is Wikimonitoring; for our editors to respond to them, there is Annual Support. Wikimonitoring →
