Yes there is. direct them to <br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AUTOPROB#Problems_in_an_article_about_you" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AUTOPROB#Problems_in_an_article_about_you</a><br>
<br>But they shouldn't be expecting wikipedia to do a whitewashing / PR fluff job on it. Sometimes, if they are actually trying to remove negative material about them (and there is a ton of it in RS) it leads to a backlash and more gets added to the article.

Hiya,<br><br>Me and a couple of others have been contacted by a couple of people of stature having Wikipedia articles about themselves recently about the articles having derogatory and inaccurate information about them. Is there any procedure set which such people can follow to have an admin look into their page?<br>
<br>Kind Regards,<br><br><br> </div></div>
