Wikimedia paid-contribution disclosure

How AI Syndicate edits Wikidata.

This is our public paid-contribution disclosure for Wikidata, made under the Wikimedia Foundation Terms of Use (§4) and Wikidata's disclosure policy. The Terms of Use ask paid editors to name their employer, client, intended beneficiary, and any other affiliation. We do that below — and we repeat it on our account's user page and in every edit summary, not just here.

Employer
AI Syndicate Collective LLC (doing business as “AI Syndicate”)
Client & intended beneficiary
The brand named in each edit summary, which pays us

Quick answer

AI Syndicate Collective LLC, doing business as AI Syndicate, makes paid contributions to Wikidata from a single disclosed account named Aisyndicate. It adds verifiable, structured facts (like a brand's official website and founding date) to a brand's existing item, sourced from that brand's own official website, and names the paying brand in every edit summary. It does not create new items under its own account. This disclosure is made under the Wikimedia Foundation Terms of Use (§4).

Disclosure statement

The disclosure, in the Terms of Use's own words.

In accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation Terms of Use and Wikidata's disclosure policy, AI Syndicate Collective LLC discloses that it makes paid contributions to Wikidata from the account Aisyndicate. With respect to those contributions:

  • Employer: AI Syndicate Collective LLC, doing business as "AI Syndicate."
  • Client & intended beneficiary: in each edit, the brand named in that edit's summary. That brand is our paying customer and the subject of the edit.
  • Affiliation: none beyond that paid engagement. The facts we add are drawn from each brand's own official website.

The Terms of Use ask for this disclosure in at least one place. We make it in three: here, on the Aisyndicate account's user page (via the {{PaidContributions}} template), and in the edit summary of every individual edit.

The relationship, plainly

Wikidata's own example: if a firm is paid to improve the entry for a brand, the firm is the employer with respect to those edits and the brand is the client. That's us.

AI Syndicate is the employer/agency; the brand that hired us is the client and beneficiary. Every edit we make from the Aisyndicate account is a paid edit described by this page.

What we actually do

Two clearly separated kinds of editing.

Enrich

AI Syndicate adds verified facts to a brand's existing Wikidata item

We add missing, verifiable facts to a brand's existing Wikidata item — for example its official website (P856), date of founding (P571), or links to the brand's own verified profiles. Every fact is sourced from the brand's own official website (its published Organization schema) and is the kind of uncontroversial, structured data Wikidata is built to hold. We do not remove or contest other editors' contributions.

Create

AI Syndicate never creates a new Wikidata item under its own account

When a brand has no Wikidata item yet, we do not create one under our account. Instead the brand connects their own Wikimedia account, we pre-fill a draft for them to review, and they publish it as themselves. This keeps notability decisions and authorship with the subject, not with us.

Where the disclosure appears

What's in each of the three places we disclose.

  • On this page: the full statement above — employer, client, intended beneficiary, affiliation, and the account.
  • On the account's user page: the Aisyndicate user page identifies the operator (AI Syndicate Collective LLC) and links here.
  • In every edit summary: each enrich edit names the brand it was made for, the official source domain the facts came from, and a link back to this page.
  • For "create" edits: published by the customer's own account, not ours; we ask any customer who is a paid representative of the brand to make the same disclosure on their side.
The standards we hold ourselves to

What we will and won't do on Wikidata.

Verifiable facts only

We add structured data that is published by the brand itself (official site, schema) or otherwise verifiable. No promotional language — Wikidata holds facts, not marketing.

Human pace, not a hidden bot

The shared account edits at a capped, human rate. We are not running an undisclosed mass-creation bot, and we do not request high-volume editing rights.

We don't fabricate notability

We never create items under our own account for brands that don't yet have one. If a brand isn't notable enough for Wikidata, that's a decision for the community, not us.

We respect other editors

We don't revert, remove, or contest other contributors' work to favor a client. We add; we don't edit-war.

Questions or concerns

How to reach a human about any edit we've made.

If you're a Wikidata editor, administrator, or a member of the public with a question or concern about any edit from the Aisyndicate account, email support@aisyndicate.com. We'll respond promptly and, where appropriate, self-revert.
