Their list of services https://www.wiki-pr.com/services/ looks like a corporate shill's sick mockery of Wikipedia's community standards.
I hope every single one of their spurious sockpuppet accounts get deleted.

Hopefully this kind of blatantly unethical behavior follows them around a bit. I don't wish the end of a career upon anybody, but maybe a few doors end up closing for some of these folks that would have otherwise been open.
Yes, because when I have a client who gets libeled online, the first thing I need to do is create an honest Wikipedia page.
Seriously, WTF?
It's too bad they've suckered so many people into thinking they could control their online brand through Wikipedia.
