A week or so ago I received a tweet with this link about Wikipedia and place rank with Google. http://searchengineland.com/a-new-behemoth-emerges-in-google-maps-wikipedia-32593
It’s gotten me thinking that we could edit ourselves in to Wikipedia’s New Orleans articles. Our shop is in an historic building, and I thought perhaps we could edit the historic page to add our name and a little something about the building along with a picture. I believe it may be considered what they are calling vandalism to try to incorporate a business into an encyclopedia, but with the historic angle (bronze plaque outside and all) I think it would be fine and our building is neat—a pain to work in, but interesting.
Any thoughts on whether this would be worth while, since page rank is supposed to already have come into play with getting our Google Favorite Place designation, would it be redundancy, or, the more the merrier? If it has enough merit to try, has anyone ever edited anything on Wiki, and if so, is it very involved?
