 | | Wikpedia Statement Wikpedia has included this "oops" on the page itself, as the subheader of "Marketing Team Admits Tampering With Wikipedia Entry"
LMAO !!! -- Bush is the Prez....Think Patriot Act II....This outspoken dissident....In jail I'll be soon. | |

Getting "over zealous" with updates? Or getting caught? | |

 jester121Premium join:2003-08-09 Lake Zurich, IL | Marketing = idiots Apparently someone somewhere wrote a book or an article that Wikipedia is a great form of advertising and PR, because I've had about 4 clients mention it in the past 6 months. I'm sure it can't hurt, but the whole point of Wikipedia isn't marketing, it's information. | |

 |  | | Re: Marketing = idiots Wikipedia isn't marketing, it's information. people in marketing believe those two terms are synonymous... | |

 |  |  | | Re: Marketing = idiots said by Karl Bode:Wikipedia isn't marketing, it's information. people in marketing believe those two terms are synonymous... And not so coincidentally, most who work in marketing whether for Phorm or Wiki are astonishingly clueless. | |

Users "polishing up" their own biography article is not new. What is really annoying is that there appears to be no uniform standards and a lot of hypocracy when it comes to biography rules. It seems people just don't want others to know about their past yet they are quit willing to force wikipedia to do so, and cover it up:
»en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit···01303946
»en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit···01413613 | |
