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:

1. 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.

 

1. 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.

 

1. 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.

 

1. 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.
• Experience editing in the company/organization or business article space.
• Familiarity with Wikipedia's conflict of interest (COI) guidelines and paid editing disclosure requirements.
