These articles were published under terms of free, copyleft licenses, in hopes that free-content sites (primarily [[Wikipedia]]) would disseminate them to vast audiences for wider use. MyWikiBiz has not directly edited Wikipedia in exchange for payment, though, for a number of years. Its founder, Gregory Kohs, is [[Directory:MyWikiBiz/Paid_editing#Contact_MyWikiBiz|available]] to consult businesses and individuals who have questions about how to best engage with Wikipedia and other free-content sites. |

From August until October 2006, MyWikiBiz created content for about 10 articles that found their way to Wikipedia. Three of them were disclosed to the "powers that be" at Wikipedia, which led to two of them being deleted, and the remaining one being savaged by Wikipedia co-founder [[Criticism of Jimmy Wales|Jimmy Wales]]. In the pinnacle of hypocrisy, an administrator who acted as Wales' lap-dog later plagiarized the original MyWikiBiz content and attempted (unsuccessfully, as he was caught red-handed) to [[Criticism_of_Jimmy_Wales#Tolerance_of_plagiarism|claim the content ''ab initio'']] as his own. | From August until October 2006, MyWikiBiz created content for about 10 articles that found their way to Wikipedia.

Launched in 2006, the MyWikiBiz enterprise has authored dozens of encyclopedic articles about companies, products, and individual persons. These articles were published under terms of free, copyleft licenses, in hopes that free-content sites (primarily Wikipedia) would disseminate them to vast audiences for wider use. MyWikiBiz has not directly edited Wikipedia in exchange for payment, though, for a number of years. Its founder, Gregory Kohs, is available to consult businesses and individuals who have questions about how to best engage with Wikipedia and other free-content sites.
Evolution of the editing service
From August until October 2006, MyWikiBiz created content for about 10 articles that found their way to Wikipedia. Three of them were disclosed to the "powers that be" at Wikipedia, which led to two of them being deleted, and the remaining one being savaged by Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales. In the pinnacle of hypocrisy, an administrator who acted as Wales' lap-dog later plagiarized the original MyWikiBiz content and attempted (unsuccessfully, as he was caught red-handed) to claim the content ab initio as his own.
What about the other seven articles that were not disclosed? All are beautifully residing to this day within Wikipedia, thoughtfully tended to by the editing community. After the success of these seven articles, MyWikiBiz then added many dozens more Wikipedia pages and improvements on behalf of clients. Only two or three articles have ever been overturned by the Wikipedia administrative community.
Therefore, we at MyWikiBiz have concluded that content decisions at Wikipedia are not at all about "the quality of the contribution", but rather, "the provenance of the contribution". If the editor is embedded in the community, their content generally stays; but if the editor is new and unfamiliar, their content will generally be deprecated or removed with prejudice.
As of June 16, 2014, the Wikimedia Foundation has implemented in its Terms of Use a new section entitled "Paid contributions without disclosure". The key aspect of this section is that users:
...must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
Therefore, when you engage the services of MyWikiBiz, you are paying for the expertise of MyWikiBiz and its affiliate editors; that is, you are compensating us for our research skills, writing style, and editorial review time. Your payment also obtains our knowledge of policies and guidelines on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia Foundation projects. You agree that you are making no payment for any content contributions on Wikipedia or other Wikimedia Foundation projects. MyWikiBiz will only execute content contributions on Wikipedia or other Wikimedia Foundation projects through other editors-in-good-standing, as a personal courtesy at or near the end of our consultative project. MyWikiBiz may not receive or expect to receive any compensation for directly publishing or editing content on Wikipedia or other Wikimedia Foundation projects, and thus no refunds or rebates will be offered to you as the result of any content outcomes on Wikipedia or other Wikimedia Foundation projects which are ultimately outside of our control. Because of these service terms, MyWikiBiz and its affiliate editors are exempt from the Wikimedia Foundation Terms of Use section about "Paid contributions without disclosure". Since we neither receive nor expect to receive compensation for any of our contributions to Wikipedia or other Wikimedia Foundation projects, we need not make disclosure of our employer(s), client(s), or affiliation(s). So, when you engage in a consultation with MyWikiBiz, you are assured of privacy and confidentiality regarding your intentions (past, present, and future) regarding Wikipedia!
Further worthy of note is that a representative of the Wikimedia Foundation (James Alexander, 19 April 2017) contacted the founder of MyWikiBiz via e-mail to, "notify you that you are banned from all Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) websites, platforms and activities. This includes but is not limited to, any site listed at www.wikimedia.org, mailing lists hosted by the WMF, WMF Labs and Wikimedia technical infrastructure such as Phabricator as well as any in-person events sponsored or funded by the WMF.

Our advice
If you are thinking about publishing content on Wikipedia that you suspect may come under fire for "conflict of interest" reasons, you are advised to contact MyWikiBiz for a free consulting discussion to obtain advice and possible assistance.
Despite a superficial "permanent ban" from Wikipedia, MyWikiBiz (in the early years) and its affiliates (more recently, and all under signed non-disclosure agreements) have researched, written, and published on Wikipedia numerous paid articles, from 2007 to the present day. A very few vindictive administrators on Wikipedia think they have the power to thusly censor free content that meets all the terms and conditions of the site owners, but in practice they actually have no real powers of this sort.

Why businesses pay for Wikipedia content
From the Examiner article about this subject...
As a globally-leading website that appears at or near the top of the most important search engine query results pages, Wikipedia has (for better or for worse) become a must-watch reference page. This is especially true for any business concerned about its brand awareness and a factual presentment of its corporate history and product or service descriptions. A company that can't be found on Wikipedia is deemed by most Internet researchers as "small potatoes" or "insignificant". Yet on the other hand, a company that is given a disproportionately negative and unfair treatment by Wikipedia is suffering immeasurable damage to its reputation. Businesses that understand the importance of content on Wikipedia, but don't have the time or prowess to engage directly in the topsy-turvy editing process have been hiring experienced editors to act on their behalf, since at least 2006.
Still curious?
Your Business and Wikipedia is an e-book draft that may one day be published by Gregory Kohs.

This e-book shares his astounding and provocative secrets with you.
