Unless you or your organization have been fairly extensively covered in mainstream media resources, it's never going to survive for more than a day or two on Wikipedia (unless you fake the sources, and nobody notices -- then it might last a few weeks or more).



My recommendation, though self-serving since I am the owner of the site, is to just create a nicely-formatted wiki page about yourself at MyWikiBiz.com. If you install the proper semantic attribute tags in the wiki-markup text, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised about how the page will rank in natural search results.



Good luck!

There's a couple of things to know about making a page that's about you:



1. You have to be notible (I'm going to be famous isn't enough, you need some form of notiblity.

Officially: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BIO



"A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.



* If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.

* Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject."



2. Editing a page about yourself is a conflict of interest, (the reasoning behind it is that you can't make a page about yourself without bias, and it would be unfair to edit it.) If you are notible, then chances are somebody will create the article



Policy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:COI#Autobiography



"It is not recommended that you write an article about yourself. If you are notable, someone else will notice you and write the article. In some cases, Wikipedia users write articles about themselves when the more appropriate action would be to create a user page. In these cases, the article is normally moved into the user namespace rather than deleted. If you believe you may be notable enough, make your case on the appropriate talk pages, and seek consensus first, both with the notability and any proposed autobiography."

Are you speaking approximately an editorial approximately your self, or a consumer web site. those are diverse suggestions, and that i visit talk each and each. Articles: an editorial is a checklist a pair of specific problem. the biggest area of Wikipedia is made up of articles. Articles are housed interior the main effective namespace. in case you're important or nicely commonplace, you will probable incredible adequate to have an editorial approximately you. in case you're only going to place in writing approximately your 9/5 uninteresting, consumer-friendly existence, do not. consumer pages: A consumer web site is a private section, and all people who's a registered consumer could make one. A consumer web site can contain information approximately you, your pursuits, your affiliations interior Wikipedia. keep in mind, your consumer web site isn't a gap to make a private information superhighway web site. consumer pages are contained interior the consumer: namespace.

You'd have to suck up to someone who has a lot of power on Wikipedia, someone who would be able to creatively interpret Wikipedia's rules on notability in order to keep the article about you from getting deleted. You see, Wikipedia's rules on notability have all the stability of a sand castle.



But if you do become famous, you'll probably wish Wikipedia didn't have a page on you. At least then you'll be able to afford a PR person to correct all the falsehoods that will certainly appear on your Wiki bio.
