Anyone can edit Wikipedia pages without registration. Wikipedia uses two editing interfaces: VisualEditor and classic wikitext. Articles should be written in encyclopedic style with formal tone
Wikipedia pages fail due to lack of notability, even for established brands. Notability requires significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial mentions alone aren't sufficient, at least two paragraphs needed. Companies should have red links throughout Wikipedia
Topic must be notable with reliable, independent sources. Check if you're connected to the topic before writing. Search for existing articles before starting. Gather reliable sources including books, journals, and reputable websites
