User:Kevin Gorman/Wiki-PR Work

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since there's recently been some debate about the type of work Wiki-PR engages in, I decided to restore a few of their old articles. I'm positive that these are all articles written by the fine folks at Wiki-PR partly because of technical evidence, but mostly because of the use of the sources Investment Underground (which is explicitly run by the founders of Wiki-PR,) and vatalyst.com (a website that Jordan French confirmed in a phone call with me was intended as a fake news site intended to make his clients look better.) It's also worth noting that many of the other sources are not what they appear to be; CNN iReport is user-submitted content with no editorial control, as is Yahoo! Voices, even though they are both often framed as CNN or Yahoo News. To ensure that no harm comes from me restoring these articles, I've put them in my own userspace, protected them, and stopped search engines from indexing them.

Since all of these were new creations by Wiki-PR, Wiki-PR clearly could not have been hired to remove libel from the articles. I'll add to this list from time to time. Kevin Gorman (talk) 04:05, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
