Wikirating:About
Wikirating is an independent organization whose purpose is to establish a transparent source for credit ratings of countries, corporations and structured finance products. Wikirating mainly is based on everybody's contributions to feed data and information, to correct and sharpen any contribution and thus to grow and to get independent, impartial and transparent ratings.
History
The idea of Wikirating was born in spring 2010 by Dorian Credé, founder and chairman - in the middle of the world financial and economic crisis. Shortly after Erwan Salembier joined and both started to develop this idea based on the simple fact that financial ratings, methodologies and activities needed to become transparent and open, and that anyone should have the right to contribute to this project. In February 2012 Erwan left Wikirating by mutual consent.
The founder decided to adopt the community model of Wikipedia, that is, an internet platform allowing free contributions, data corrections and consultation - self-controlled and regulated by the community.
