Why are people so dumb? Could you make the job just a little bit harder by preparing the enemy a bit more?

Description
Hi,

I am interested in having some Wikipedia articles created.

Specifically:
- Book Launch
- Biography
- Company/ Blog
- Newly created term

Now can you give me some guidance of your capabilities and fees for this type of service.

Thanks very much.

Kind Regards Dominique

P.S: It it less content it is more about getting the format ready etc.

More Details:

1. Biographies samples I like and are probably an industry fit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Lyon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_schneier
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Mitnick
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsutomu_Shimomura
Sources about me that will be provided:
CV in English (word) links to my public profiles i.e. LinkedIn and Xing, links to publications and whitepapers, conferences I have spoken, the published book, quotes is coined/ used etc.
This task includes compiling all the content out of the provided sources and create the Biography Wikipedia page in the correct format and based on the standards of Wikipedia.

2. Book publication:
The Wikipedia article would include the presentation of the one book I co-authored. All information can be taken from the books webpage http://greening.it/

3. Company presentation
This task includes the company presentation on Wikipedia of the company http://www.reputelligence.com/

4. Newly created term
This task refers to creating a Wikipedia entry for the trademarked term invented by me: Reputelligenceâ„¢. The term is a basically a new word created when merging Reputation and Intelligence together. The explanation is also on the company webpage.

As you can see all this needs to be in specific order (I assume). Your expertise is asked in the order of entries. Since it is probably best to upload the article of the book publication first and then the biography etc. or the other way round. I don’t know much about what best works and is accepted by Wikipedia.
I hope this helps for making yourself a better picture of what the project entails. If you have additional questions pls contact me via Freelancer. Also you need to assess whether my request is even doable in the first place.
Regards Dominique

Not very reputelligent.
A bit reptilian, though, assuming it's a cold day where he's basking on his rock.
He seems 'storpid.'

This person may appear at first glance to be a complete interwebnoramus, but unless he's hit upon this solution by accident, I suspect he's actually done something quite clever - indeed, something I myself might have done in his position.

Hopefully we won't get taken down for quoting two lines from his homepage:
QUOTE
Today's enterprises are a glasshouse - a single dissatisfied client, former or current employee can create significant damage to your brand and reputation.

Now, if he's been paying any attention at all, he probably knows exactly how those dissatisfied clients or employees are going to go about "creating" that damage - they're going to go to the one site that's free, almost completely anonymous, and gets top Google rankings practically the same day the attack-article is posted. Also, note that he doesn't say the person is going to "cause" or "do" damage, he's going to create it. (He also says "e-mails going astray" and "unintenional data leakage" are something that "nearly every one of us has experienced," which seems like a fairly obvious exaggeration.)

By putting out this project RFQ on freelancer.com, he's essentially ensuring that nobody will ever be able to use Wikipedia to attack his company, his book, or even his not-especially-useful neologism without raising a whole bunch of red flags, followed by a bunch of "speedy" deletions.

True, it might not work, and like I say he might have managed this completely by accident, but I can't believe he'd be smart enough to set all this up and yet be so totally clueless about how Wikipedia treats this sort of thing.

The ol' double-reverse! I didn't think of that, Somey.

He's probably a sock of Declan McCullough.
