This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Charles Arthur (21 November 2013). "Wikipedia sends cease-and-desist letter to PR firm offering paid edits to site". The Guardian. Retrieved 22 November 2013. Among companies whose entries are said to have been edited by the company are those for Priceline and the communications company Viacom

The CW

is not "formerly The WB and UPN". It is a joint venture of Warner Brothers and CBS. It includes many of the programs and affiliates formerly associated with The WB or UPN. It is not a merger or a renaming. And though UPN was formely part of Viacom, The WB was not. I'd have made this correction to the the article myself, but I don't have permission.

Number One - Whoever you are, as I'm sure ANY of Wikipedia's editors will tell you & even as the edit page itself says, PLEASE, sign your comment using four tildes (the squiggly line character - "~") so that we know who is speaking.

Number Two - if, by not having permission, you mean you don't have an account on this website, that shouldn't make any difference. I don't have an account on here either, but that doesn't stop me from making edits to articles. 2602:304:CEBF:8650:E004:548B:7400:5233 (talk) 05:16, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
