        I believe...

        As an associate/employee/owner of a business/website you cannot create a page for your self within Wikipedia

        Wikipedia is a resource for general consensus information, not just information. Not saying you "marketing-hyped" it up, but even if you did a great objective wiki... It is still not a consensus since you did it on yourself therefore technically not "UN-biased" information.

        So technically you can't "get" a page on Wikipedia it needs to be created about you.... And only if you are important enough to deem a page, but not really sure what important enough threshold is.

        If you are an SEO company and not SEOMOZ or another notable SEO company with worldwide recognition I am not sure i would waste my time.... But that is only my opinion.

          Greetings Champions!

          Sir Thomas is correct, Wikipedia is a non profit organization and can not help profiting companies in that manner. If you notice companies like Dell, and IBM have pages because of their historical significance. I also thought this would be awesome and tried it, with the same results even after a lengthy talk with a mod. Good luck on your quests for Page 1!
