This list is what appears to be a group which includes a number of university students in Beijing creating boilerplate articles about businesses without adequately demonstrating that the business is notable, without a good understanding of Wikipedia style guides, and in many cases, creating articles about non-notable companies. These edits began in or about early November, 2013 and are still continuing as of late December 2013.

The question is, what can we, as experienced editors, do to help them "get it right," especially regarding

  • not wasting time on non-notable companies,
  • not wasting time on companies which already have articles,
  • ensuring that articles about notable companies have suitable references,
  • ensuring that the articles do not appear to promote the company or its products, and
  • ensuring that the manual of style and other guidelines are followed more closely.
