Title: Instructional Designer II Location: Remote Duration: 3 months
We are seeking an experienced Wikipedia editor and researcher to create, write, and successfully publish a neutral, well-sourced company Wikipedia article on our behalf. The contractor will be responsible for the full lifecycle of the article — from sourcing reliable references to navigating Wikipedia's submission and review process — and will ensure the page meets Wikipedia's notability and content standards.
Scope of Work:
Notability Assessment
Review existing third-party coverage of the company to assess whether it meets Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline (GNG).
Provide a brief written assessment confirming notability before beginning the article draft.
Flag any potential conflicts of interest or issues that may complicate approval.
Research & Source Compilation
Identify and compile a minimum of 5–10 reliable, independent, third-party sources (news articles, industry publications, academic or government references).
Exclude press releases, company-owned content, and promotional materials as primary sources.
Provide a source list with URLs and publication dates for client review prior to drafting.
Article Drafting
Write the article from a neutral point of view (NPOV) consistent with Wikipedia's editorial policies.
Structure the article to include introduction/lead section, company history, products or services, notable milestones, and references.
Format the article using proper Wikipedia markup (wikitext), including citations, categories, and infobox.
Submit a draft to the client for review and incorporate one round of feedback before submission.
Submission & Review Management
Submit the article through Wikipedia's Articles for Creation (AfC) process or directly to the main namespace if the contractor has autoconfirmed or extended-confirmed status.
Monitor the submission and respond to reviewer feedback, requests for additional sources, or required edits.
Make necessary revisions to secure article approval and publication.
Requirements:
Demonstrated experience writing and publishing Wikipedia articles (portfolio of existing Wikipedia contributions required).
Strong knowledge of Wikipedia's core content policies: Notability, NPOV, Verifiability, and No Original Research.
Familiarity with Wikipedia's Articles for Creation (AfC) workflow.
Proficiency in wikitext markup and citation formatting.
Excellent research skills with the ability to identify credible, independent sources.
Strong written English and ability to write in an encyclopedic, neutral tone.
Preferred:
Wikipedia account with autoconfirmed or extended-confirmed status.
