I'm a little unclear on this from reading Wikipedia's policy on libel.
It seems concerned only with libel of individuals. What is the policy with regards to organisations? In the UK the libel laws cover organisations as well as individuals.
I've just a few minutes ago added a section on 'Defending interests' to [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest]]. This is a guideline piece about people defending on behalf of institutions, or people.
WP's policy on libel and so on is clearly that we don't want it. The general thrust, I think, is to refer as much as possible back to existing policies, so that non-neutral edits are dealt with using conventional weaponry. On what is defamatory, I'm sure we generally stick to 'truth is a defence'.
