How do you think Mark Bolland's Wikipedia clients feel now?

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-an...

The news has revealed that (likely) Mark Bolland's PR firm has been caught editing Wikipedia to spruce up articles about clients. Not that there's anything wrong with that, wasn't it rather unprofessional to work on multiple clients' articles, all from the same IP address, thus bringing down the whole portfolio when the account came into question?

Isn't there some sort of manual or e-book that will help businesses learn how to more successfully manipulate Wikipedia?

    It wasn't unprofessional, it was merely unrealistic, naive, and (arguably) stupid. Lots of professions feature those three things in abundance. As for the manual or e-book, I'd write one myself, but I can't be bothered. Why don't you write one? I'd even suggest a title, but they don't let us use italics on this site.
