Directory:The Wikipedia Point of View/Conflict of interest and Wikipedia

Wikipedia and conflict of interest go hand in hand. Pretty much any subject you search in Google for, and the article about it in Wikipedia comes first in the ranking. That makes Wikipedia an attractive target for determined groups of individuals who want to present their idea or product in a global market, free of charge. Join the encylopedia that anyone can edit, write an article about your favourite company, band or other commercial interest, and you have some very expensive advertising for free.

There are assocations of editors who try to weed out potential conflicts, so this is only possible if you have influence at senior levels of Wikipedia. Fortunately, this is easily arranged.

• Daryl_Wine_Bar_and_Restaurant "The coverage is not from the Wednesday food section of the Times -- where the restaurant critics are brutally honest and often negative -- but from the Sunday N.J. regional section, where all of the restaurant reviews are positive. Anyone who lives in the New York metropolitan section and reads the Times would recognize that immediately." [1]
