Reminds me of Durova's classic article from 2007:

- d.
It's not clear if they understand Wikipedia's image licensing policy. The way that article is phrased, it sounds like they are licensing the picture to Wikipedia.
The article also has this:
To mitigate this, we wrote an official biography on our client’s site. This biography carried more weight than the online citations used by other Wiki editors.
which sounds like a classic case of having to jump through hoops. since the information would be equally accurate whether they created a page for it or not.

Yes, but Wikipedia would have no easy way to gauge the intentionality behind it, at least in this case we have good reason to believe that they're acting on behalf of the subject of the biography, and can treat anything they say accordingly, if it was just a random web page then we don't even have that.
Win-win, and community consensus can decide the reliance to place on their newly written source v. other sources that existed.
