WikiSafe, a service that allows companies and managers to take control of their reputation on Wikipedia, is born.

THIS SERVICE MITIGATES RISK BY ENSURING THAT INFORMATION IS ACCURATE, OBJECTIVE AND ALIGNED WITH WIKIPEDIA'S POLICIES.

In the digital age, Wikipedia has established itself as a key reference for corporate and personal information. Its value lies in the collaboration of thousands of editors and experts, in content control systems and in the traceability of each modification: each edit leaves a history that allows us to know what was changed, when and by whom. However, this openness also makes it vulnerable: malicious, promotional or misrepresentative edits can affect the public perception of companies and individuals.

Faced with this reality, Proa Communication has launched WikiSafea service designed to enable companies, managers and public figures to protect their reputation on Wikipedia. The initiative stems from a growing concern about incorrect or outdated information circulating on the platform, which directly impacts the image of the actors involved. Increasingly, Wikipedia has become the initial reference for journalists, investors and citizens, making it essential to manage the digital presence in a proactive and ethical manner.

WikiSafe's operation combines strategy and technique. The client's presence on Wikipedia is analysed in detail, identifying errors, gaps or potentially harmful content. Based on this diagnosis, an action plan is developed that may include the creation, editing or restoration of pages, always respecting the platform's neutrality and verifiability policies. The Proa Comunicación team selects objective and contrasted sources to guarantee that the information is truthful and reliable, avoiding any promotional or subjective content.

This service mitigates risks such as the dissemination of misinformation, manipulation of data, publication of irrelevant details or lack of presence on Wikipedia, which can be perceived as opacity. By managing information responsibly, WikiSafe ensures that digital reputation reflects reality accurately and fairly, strengthening the credibility of companies and their managers.

In a world where first impressions online can determine the trust of customers, investors and the media, WikiSafe becomes a strategic tool. The aim is not to control the information, but to guard it with rigour, ethics and transparency, while contributing to the reliability of Wikipedia as a global reference source.

They also argue that WikiSafe does not seek to control information, but to manage it responsibly.. "Our goal with WikiSafe is to ensure that the information available reflects reality accurately and fairly, without manipulation. This ethical approach not only protects the reputation of our clients, but also contributes to Wikipedia's credibility as a trusted source.
