Experienced Wikipedia Editor Needed for Three Interconnected Biography Pages
Worldwide
Job Description We are looking for a highly experienced Wikipedia editor to research, write, submit, and help publish three interconnected Wikipedia pages: One page for Individual A One page for Individual B One page covering the two individuals as a notable couple/creative partnership The pages should be professionally written, properly sourced, neutral in tone, and linked together wherever appropriate under Wikipedia’s rules. The editor must independently evaluate whether each proposed subject meets Wikipedia’s notability requirements before beginning the full drafting process. This project must be completed ethically and in full compliance with Wikipedia’s paid-contribution, conflict-of-interest, biography-of-living-persons, sourcing, and disclosure policies. We are not interested in shortcuts, fabricated references, promotional writing, undisclosed editing, or temporary pages that are likely to be deleted. Scope of Work The selected editor will: Conduct a complete notability assessment for all three proposed pages Identify significant coverage from reliable, independent secondary sources Explain any sourcing or notability weaknesses before drafting Research and write three encyclopedia-style drafts Add properly formatted citations and references Create appropriate internal Wikipedia links between the subjects Recommend suitable categories, infoboxes, and Wikidata connections Submit the drafts through the appropriate Wikipedia process Respond professionally to reviewer feedback Make reasonable revisions requested during the review process Monitor the pages after publication for initial issues, tags, or challenges Provide a complete source list and copies of the final approved drafts We will provide factual background materials, dates, career information, media coverage, interviews, and other supporting documentation. However, the editor will be responsible for determining which information and sources are acceptable under Wikipedia’s standards. Required Experience Applicants must have: A strong, verifiable history of creating or substantially improving Wikipedia biographies Experience with biographies of living persons A clear understanding of Wikipedia notability and reliable-source requirements Experience using the Articles for Creation process Knowledge of paid-editing and conflict-of-interest disclosure requirements Excellent research, citation, and neutral writing skills Experience responding to Wikipedia reviewers and deletion concerns An established Wikipedia account in good standing Important Requirements The goal is to secure three stable, policy-compliant published pages—not simply upload promotional drafts. No editor can ethically guarantee that Wikipedia will approve or permanently retain a page, so applicants should provide an honest assessment of the likelihood of approval before accepting the full assignment. Do not apply if you: Guarantee publication regardless of notability Use fabricated, purchased, or unreliable sources Offer undisclosed paid editing Plan to use multiple accounts to influence approval Write promotional or public-relations-style articles Cannot provide examples of relevant Wikipedia work All paid-editing disclosures must be completed as required by Wikipedia. Project Structure We prefer milestone-based payment: Notability and source assessment for all three subjects Completion and approval of the first two biography drafts Completion of the couple/partnership draft and cross-linking strategy Submission, reviewer responses, and final revisions Post-publication monitoring and final handoff Application Questions Please include the following in your proposal: How many Wikipedia biography pages have you successfully created? Please provide links to relevant pages you created or substantially contributed to. Have any of your submitted pages been challenged or nominated for deletion? If so, what happened? How do you determine whether a person satisfies Wikipedia’s notability guidelines? How will you comply with Wikipedia’s paid-editing and conflict-of-interest policies? What information and sources will you need from us? What is your estimated timeline and proposed milestone price? What support do you provide if a reviewer requests changes or rejects a draft? This is a serious project, and we are looking for someone who prioritizes long-term page stability, accuracy, and policy compliance. The subjects’ identities and supporting materials will be shared privately with shortlisted applicants.
