009-Should you create your own wikipedia biography?

009 should you create your own wikipedia biography?

In this 9th episode of the Content Creator show, I’m going to show you how to create your wikipedia biography.

Let’s try a quick exercise:

1.Google anyone famous

2.Now google yourself

Notice the difference?

When you Google someone famous information from their Wikipedia biography is shows up on the right side of Google

This includes photos and a brief bio biographical sketch.

Did you know that you can create this for yourself?

In this episode, I’m going to walk you through the advantages of creating a wikipedia entry for yourself.

Join in on the fun at http://contentcreatorshow.com/009 to watch in on the process.

First of all, what is wikipedia?

-the people’ encyclopedia

WIkipedia’s content policies:

1. Neutral point of view ensures coverage of all angles, not just the negative ones

2. Undue weight ensures that information is placed in proper perspective and that balance is maintained.

3. Biographies of living persons (BLP) ensures that negative information must be extremely well-sourced. Your enemies' blogs and mass email newsletters will likely not be allowed as reliable sources. The BLP policy actually applies to every living person, not just the subject of articles here. It protects you, other editors, and everyone else. 

4. Libel policy protects you from defamation. If you feel libelled, follow its advice.

5. Verifiable and reliable sources ensure quality control.
