My Wikipedia article has wrong information and it keeps getting reverted when I try to fix it. Why?

When a Wikipedia subject (or someone close to them) edits the article directly and the edits keep getting reverted, the cause is almost always the channel, not the content. The correction can be perfectly accurate and still get reverted, because editing your own article is what trips the alarm.

Why direct edits get reverted

Three Wikipedia policies apply to edits made by the subject of an article:

• Conflict of interest (WP:COI) defines a conflict of interest to include subjects, their employees, and their PR firms, and discourages direct article edits by interested parties even when the edit is unpaid.
• Paid-contribution disclosure (WP:PAID) requires anyone compensated to edit on behalf of a subject to disclose that relationship before editing.
• Neutral point of view (WP:NPOV) demands a neutral encyclopedic tone, which subjects rarely produce when correcting their own article.

So direct edits from a conflict-of-interest account get reverted and the article tagged even when the underlying correction is accurate. The revert responds to who is editing, not to whether the fact is right.

The fix: switch channels

Even when your correction is accurate, stop editing the article directly and use the disclosed-COI path:

1. Open a Talk-page edit request on the article, disclosing the conflict of interest.
2. Identify the wrong text and propose the specific replacement wording.
3. Cite reliable secondary sources for each proposed change.
4. Let independent community editors evaluate and implement the request.

Community editors who have watched the article through these disputes usually implement reasonable, well-sourced requests. The correction lands, and the friction goes away.
