Wikipedia talk:When your boss tells you to edit Wikipedia

What if your boss is a politician?

I think that most of the advice on this page would also apply to bosses who are office-holders. bureaucrats and political leaders. They (like business leaders) want to be noted, and if noted want to stress their positive or popular qualities and achievements while downplaying their failures. They often want the Wikipedia page to parrot their official biography, platform or campaign pages. Heads of government agencies may ask one of their subordinates to promote that agency's successes or policies and minimise any negative records.

If the additions (or sbutractions) aren't backed up by neutral Reliable Sources, that poses a problem.

I think there have been several instances where odd edits to a public figure's page (or subsection) has been traced to their offices, staffers or interns. So is there some way to tweak this page so that "When your boss tells you to edit Wikipedia" covers public and political bosses? Or is there already a parallel advice page that covers this? —— Shakescene (talk) 06:31, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

What about *after* the internship ends?

I realize that right now it may be a waste of time to start drafting, but what about when I am no longer an intern at a company? Jennarachel107 (talk) 21:14, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
