See http://www.micropersuasion.com/2006/03/marketing_and_w.html for 
details. I consider the word "marketing" misleading. There is no reason 
why companies shouldn't update information about themselves in wikipedia 
if they have a source and if they follow the NPOV and other wikipedia 
policies.

[[de:Siemens AG]]'s financial figures for 2005 were updated from IPs 
from within Siemens. This is fine and not "marketing".

"Incoming!!!" again is misleading. This is not a war and there are no 
incoming missiles.

Mathias,
who just had a 20 minutes phone call with the marketing department of a 
logistics company trying to explain to them why they did not behave nice 
and how they can fix their behavior problems in Wikipedia.
