I have a question about Wikipedia protocol. Is it acceptable, or for that matter wise, to create/edit pages about one's own employer? I looked but couldn't find any guidance on this. I did not have anything libellous in mind! Fayenatic london 21:17, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let's say it can be frowned upon. It all depends on the fairness of the article :) A guideline that might help you: WP:CORP. (I leave the tag in case an other wikipedian has something to add) -- lucasbfr ^talk 22:01, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AUTO is the relevant guideline, I believe. WP:VANITY may also be instructive. Powers ^T 23:13, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, that was a little terse; sorry. The upshot is that it's probably not a good idea to create the article if it doesn't already exist. If Wikipedia does not have an article about your employer, there's a very good chance that it's because it's not notable enough for Wikipedia. If the article does exist, you're as free to edit it as anyone else, but you must be careful to maintain a neutral point of view at all times. Powers ^T 23:15, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
