There have been a few recent media reports in recent weeks about the foundation blocking accounts and ip addresses who contribute to fan boy write ups of corporate pages and identities of individuals who manage these corporations.

Obviously the foundation has not got around to one of the worlds largest mining companies and their CEO Wikipedia fan page.

Edit history
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...&action=history
You will note the following Rio Tinto IP's (UK Corporate + Australian Corporate) have anonymously edited the article.

Now we get to social media executives employed at Rio Tinto Plc.
Major editor to the article is a Marinia Plessas -- Principal adviser, External Digital, Corporate Communications, Rio Tinto

he even leaves the following on his talk page. How about not editing company articles whilst being paid as an PR employee of that company?

Editor Saint Lucy seems to be a corporate write up professional

I'm certain a majority of the article content has been written by Rio Tintos social media people.

Someone please nominate Sam Walsh article for Featured Article to stir and wake the administrators up.
I'm sure they have better checking tools available than I have.
