Ethics & Compliance

We work inside Wikipedia's rules, not around them. Here is exactly how we operate, and what we will and will not do.

Our Standard

Compliance is the strategy, not a footnote

Wikipedia is built and governed by a global community of volunteer editors, with its own Terms of Use and a strict set of content policies. Most reputation problems on Wikipedia start the same way: someone treats it like a marketing channel.

We do not. Auto Draft operates as a fully policy-compliant contributor, and we hold every engagement to the standard the community expects. That discipline is not a constraint on the work. It is the reason the work lasts. A page built the right way survives scrutiny. A page built the wrong way gets flagged, reverted, or deleted, often within days.

This page lays out the principles every Auto Draft engagement follows. If a request would require us to break them, we will tell you, and we will offer a compliant path to the same goal instead.

Built to Withstand Scrutiny

Compliant work is durable work

Our Commitments

Six Principles That Guide Every Engagement

The same standards Wikipedia's community expects, applied with operational discipline.

By the Book

We operate strictly within Wikipedia's Terms of Use and content policies. The community is exacting, and our process is built to meet its standards rather than test them, because work that bends the rules does not last.

Reliable, Independent Sourcing

Notability is earned through significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. We build from real third-party reporting, never press releases, sponsored posts, or self-published material.

Neutral Point of View

We write to Wikipedia's neutral, encyclopedic tone, not promotional copy. A balanced, well-sourced article is far more durable and credible than a glowing one that gets challenged.

No False Guarantees

No agency controls Wikipedia's editorial process, so no one can honestly guarantee publication. We maximize your odds through an honest notability assessment and compliant execution, and we tell you up front if a case is not ready.

Conflict of Interest, Managed

We handle conflict of interest the right way, working through Wikipedia's proper talk pages and edit-request channels so changes are reviewed on their merits. Doing it by the book is what keeps a page stable and credible.

Client Confidentiality

Engagements are handled discreetly and under strict NDA. Your private and personal information is never exposed, and your involvement stays between us.

In Plain Terms

What We Will, and Won't, Do

The clearest way to understand how we work is to see both sides of the line.

We will

  • Run an honest notability assessment before you commit a dollar
  • Operate in full compliance with Wikipedia's Terms of Use
  • Build from reliable, independent, verifiable sources
  • Write in a neutral, encyclopedic tone
  • Use talk pages and edit requests where the rules call for them
  • Correct genuinely inaccurate, outdated, or defamatory material through legitimate channels
  • Tell you plainly when a case is not yet ready, and how to get there

We won't

  • Promise guaranteed publication or permanence
  • Use deceptive accounts or sockpuppet tactics
  • Fabricate sources, citations, or media coverage
  • Insert promotional or exaggerated language
  • Buy, sell, or manipulate community consensus
  • Quietly scrub accurate, well-sourced information just because it is unflattering
  • Take on a case we do not believe we can serve honestly

Counterintuitive but true: the firms that promise the most tend to deliver the least durable results. Saying no to the wrong tactics is exactly what keeps your page on the right side of Wikipedia's community, and standing, years from now.
