LIFEHACKER AND SEARCH ENGINE LAND TIPS FOR EDITING WIKIPEDIA

Wikipedia

Fix inaccurate articles the right way

You already have a basic idea of how to contribute to Wikipedia, and you even know how to identify anonymous edits, but how can you correct an inaccurate Wikipedia article that hits close to home without looking suspicious?

Suppose your company… discovers that their Wikipedia
article is wrong, or has subtle inaccuracies that nonetheless paint
them in an unfavorable light? Most people unfamiliar with how Wikipedia
works consider only two solutions: edit the article or sit on their
hands. Unfortunately, neither approach typically results in the optimal
outcome: a factually accurate profile containing trustworthy
information.

Weblog Search Engine Land offers tips for correcting an inaccurate
article straight from a Wikipedia administrator, like contacting
Wikipedia projects specific to your article and getting the page
watchlisted.
