<quote who="Erik Moeller"> To start a bit of a different thread, are corporate accounts bad per se? Individuals posing as corporations are unacceptable, but what about corporations acting/editing under an official capacity? Corporations are not automatically "POV pushers", as they may come in good faith just as other contributors do. Bad apples would be obvious and would damage corporate reputation, thus mitigating abuse of Foundation projects. Implementation may be as simple as linking the userpage to an official online statement from the corporation. I envision such accounts to be attractive to spokespersons interested in editing articles to remove or challenge unfair statements, without the need to create anonymous proxy accounts or to contact the OTRS team. Any additional editing would be a bonus. I am interested in hearing a variety of thoughts on this issue. It is no secret that corporations are increasingly monitoring information about them on Foundation projects, and I hope a process such as this might alleviate some of the anxiety about corporate image.
