The biggest irony is how our news publications summarized the titles :
The so called research "finds" that " 60 % of the respondents found that
their company articles on Wikipedia having factual errors" ..
But our new agencies conclude that "60 % of the Wikipedia entries contain
factual errors" !
Anyways don't expect any sympathies from the PR industry towards Wikipedia
! :)

Wonderful report I have ever seen. 6th grade kid would do far better in
what is called comprehending the original statement. The irony is it talks
of "factual errors".
"" In fact, 60% of respondents who were familiar with their company or
recent client’s Wikipedia article indicated that it article contained
factual errors."" --> The actual statement from page 20 of the
"research
report"[1].
Who were the people who responded? PR professionals, yes people who try to
promote a brand / entity for money. End of the day its about Paid editing.
