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.
