For the rest of us mere mortals who just want that page 1 juice,<br> it\u2019s a complete PITA of rejection!\n\nIt\u2019s not impossible,<br> however. There\u2019s just a few things you need to bear in mind before submitting. Firstly,<br> is your subject truly notable? If it isn\u2019t,<br> then it just isn\u2019t. You need facts and figures supported by news or publications (your press releases don\u2019t count!).\n\nYou also need to be neutral. Now is the time to discuss that controversy or issue,<br> not to sweep it under the carpet under a barrage of promotional greatness. Sure,<br> it\u2019s not ideal,<br> but it is the price you must pay for the leverage and authority that a wiki entry gives you. \n\nThe promotional aspect is really important: simply put,<br> just don\u2019t be promotional AT ALL. Think like a critical journalist and present the facts as they are,<br> not as you wish they were,<br> and create from the point of view that readers are getting the most authoritative source of information possible.\n\nIt\u2019s worth adding that you can\u2019t use old,<br> rejected content,<br> so throw it in the trash and start all over again using content based on your sources,<br> and publish using the draft wizard with some editors help if you find yourself lost. \n\nThis last point is key,<br> as wiki editors \u2013 despite their fearsome reputation \u2013 are a helpful lot when you play within their rulebook. This is a harder route,<br> but its one that will give you a much bigger chance of success.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"business\",<br>\"marketing\",<br>\"journalist\",<br>\"publication\",<br>\"success\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZ1GLZJJDTfG9TrTnq6gcgfjatG3byvxg1cY42W7aRJUz\/Wikipedia%20Editing.jpg\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " | | vote | "voter":"jimmy147",
