We do not edit Wikipedia, and we do not perform any actions within Wikipedia (e.g., reviewing pending changes, accepting articles in the AfC process, patrolling new pages), on behalf of our clients. This consciously chosen independence has long been part of our business model. We enable our clients to operate their user accounts independent from us and advise on how to follow Wikipedia’s Terms of Use. Each client maintains their own account, to which we deliberately do not have access.
We are paid mentors and advisors, not executive users.

We empower the world with knowledge and contribute to the world's accumulated knowledge. As we bring all our clients into self-efficacy, we make sure that - this is especially true for private persons who wish to create an article about themselves but also have an extended interest in contributing to the encyclopedia.
In this way, the community gains new writers who are familiar with Wikipedia's rules and contribute to the encyclopedia's knowledge.
3
In the beginning, we were not even aware that Terms of Use existed and what the consequences were if they are disregarded. That was very unfortunate and in hindsight regrettable, but in the end being extremely educational. Therefore, we show each of our clients how to get the best possible article according to the neutral point of view, without violating the Terms of Use or other community guidelines.
4
Many of our clients, whether organizations or public figures, make image material available on the Wikimedia Commons platform, ensuring that the world's knowledge can be appropriately illustrated for eternity - even outside the Wikipedia's universe!
Our clients' images have already been featured in reports and newspaper articles - and that's exactly what we're proud of!

While other providers may register accounts or position themselves as a covert paid editing network (with "direct connections" to the Wikimedia support team or with "very good admin friendships"), we deliberately have no interest in being a part of this world, which is often riddled with misunderstandings and grossly false accusations - we stay away from that!
Furthermore, we distance ourselves from political discourses, baseless accusations, edit wars, and are deliberately not active on Wikipedia anymore.
Our writers simply deliver excellent source texts compliant with Wikipedia's policies, and our consultation meets premium standards. Our selected clients are extremely grateful and satisfied with our performance and successfully participate in Wikipedia.
Anything else is noise.

Our experienced Wikipedia consultants show our clients how Wikipedia works and share our knowledge. Thanks to our guides as well as one-to-one consulting throughout, our clients always have clarity on what works and what doesn’t.
Our clients not only get an encyclopedically perfect article, but also an understanding of what Wikipedia is and how they can contribute to knowledge according to all standards.

In order to become a client with Augusta Atlantic, prospective clients must not only present a topic that meets the notability criteria (or the respective criteria of the desired language version), but also have the “openness and willingness” for the subject matter of Wikipedia.
This is the only way to achieve a win-win-win situation - for the free encyclopedia Wikipedia, our clients, and us as an agency. This, by the way, is where most of the common service providers fail, who take on any topic and upload it in Wikipedia, which leads to the justified anger of many community members. We reject more than 90% of all requests and make it clear to all interested parties and clients what Wikipedia is not.Link spam? Website boosting? Euphemism? Manipulation? Any SEO shenanigans? Not interested!

To become a Wikipedia writer for Augusta Atlantic, you must have created at least 30 Wikipedia articles or have created at least one article that was awarded within the Wikipedia community.

Weltraum PR- & Kommunikationsagentur GmbH, the company behind the brand Austusta Atlantic, is also ISO 9001:2015 TÜV certified since 30th of March 2022.

We make sure that our clients continue to act independently on Wikipedia even after our collaboration is over.
In addition, we value and respect every other writer who contributes to the development of the project, and we are happy about every new project participant.

We do not accept requests from political parties or members of parliament.
