[WikiEN-l] Fwd: The counterattack of the PR companies

[Samuel Klein]

I think you can share any or all of the following rules of thumb, in order:

"make proposed changes to talk pages.
 ask other editors to help you update an article.
 avoid editing articles about you/your organization directly,
 unless you are fixing vandalism or typos, updating stats, or adding sources.
"
