As a PR, HR or communications professional there are a few guidelines that one must follow on Wikipedia. One of the main points when editing Wikipedia is that pages have a neutral point of view (NPOV) and if an editor has a conflict of interest when editing a page then the page looses the NPOV that is crucial for an encyclopedia.

Steps for PR Professionals Editing Wikipedia

 * Editors should create an account on Wikipedia. This links all edits that you make to an account and prevents your IP address from being posted on the website.
 * On your user page you should disclose any conflict of interest that you might have. This could include where you work or potentially the clients that you work with.
 * Avoid editing pages that are relevant to any conflict of interest that you have.
 * If you have an issue with a page that you have a conflict of interest with then you should go onto the talk page and engage with other users about the issues.
