Wikipedia articles, done by the book.
We check whether a subject meets Wikipedia’s rules, write from independent sources, and submit under accounts that name us and our client. Volunteer editors decide.

What Wikipedia counts, and what it does not
Wikipedia has one test: has the world already written about you, independently and in depth? Examples of what passes that test and what does not.
| Source (example) | Why | Counts |
|---|---|---|
| Profile of you in a national newspaper | Written by a journalist, about you, in depth | Independent |
| Review of your book in a recognised publication | An independent writer judging the work | Independent |
| A named chair, fellowship or major society medal | Recorded by the body that awarded it | Independent |
| Feature on the company by a trade journalist | Independent, about the company, not a listing | Independent |
| Press release, however widely reprinted | Written by the subject | Not counted |
| Interview or podcast you gave | The words are yours, so the source is not independent | Not counted |
| Your own website, CV, or employer’s news page | Published by you or for you | Not counted |
Examples only. The free review scores the sources that exist for one subject against the guideline that applies.
Score my sourcesWho this is for
Three guidelines, one question each. We check it first, in writing, for free.
Academics and physicians
Named chairs, editorships of major journals, highly cited work and significant awards count. A long CV on its own does not. Most senior academics we hear from already have a page, so we check that before anything else.
Guideline: Notability (academics)
Authors
Independent reviews of your books in recognised publications are what count, not sales figures or your own site.
Guideline: Notability (creative professionals)
Executives, founders and companies
Press coverage has to be about you or the company, by journalists, not press releases or interviews you gave.
Guideline: Notability (organizations)
Five steps, the first one free
Nothing is submitted to Wikipedia until you have approved every word.
See what we cut before a reviewer does
A draft paragraph about an invented subject. Promotional phrases are struck, and the neutral, cited wording goes beside them.
Dr Example is a world-renowned professor of chemistry at an example university who has revolutionised the field published on catalysis since 1998. She is widely regarded as a pioneer received the Example Society medal in 2019 and her groundbreaking work has been featured globally her work was reviewed in two independent journals.
In the before view, promotional phrases are shown as written. In the after view, only the neutral replacements remain.
What we will not do
If a firm offers you anything on this list, it is breaking Wikipedia’s rules and putting your name at risk.
- Guarantee publication, a date, or that a page will stay up.
- Edit a live article about a client from any account, disclosed or not.
- Use undisclosed accounts, ask anyone else to edit for us, or ask you to edit.
- Claim any special standing on Wikipedia. We are paid editors with no authority beyond any volunteer’s.
- Cite press releases, paid placements, sponsored content, or interviews you gave.
Ten things we will do and ten we will not, each backed by a clause in our terms.
Our name is on every edit
Wikipedia requires paid editors to say who paid them and for whom. We do, on the user page of every account that works for you and on the talk page of every article. That disclosure is the proof: anyone can read it.
Illustration: how the disclosure reads on a talk page
Paid contribution disclosure. The editor of this draft was paid by Wiki Authority Group on behalf of , the subject of the article.
The wording follows Wikipedia’s own template. Account and client names are left out here.
Guides, in plain words
What we tell people before they hire anyone, including us.
Questions people ask first
Can you guarantee my page will be published?
No. Nobody can. Volunteer editors review every draft and decide. What we can do is tell you in advance, in writing, how strong the case is, and then write the best draft the sources allow. If the case is weak we say so before you pay.
Is paying someone to write a Wikipedia article allowed?
Yes, when the editor discloses it. The Wikimedia Terms of Use and the paid-contribution policy require paid editors to name their employer and client. We do that on our user pages and on the talk page of every article. Undisclosed paid editing is banned, and the account gets blocked.
Will my name be public?
Yes. The disclosure rules require it, so your name appears on our editor’s user page and on the article’s talk page as our client. We tell every client this before they pay. Your enquiry itself is private.
What does it cost?
The source review is free. Every other fee is fixed and quoted in writing once the review shows which service fits. Payment is in stages. The larger part of the fee is billed only after the page is live.
What happens if the draft is declined?
The reviewer gives a reason. If it is something we can fix, we fix it and resubmit at no extra charge, as long as each resubmission carries a real improvement. If nothing more can be improved, we tell you in writing and stop. You keep the draft. The larger part of the fee is billed only after the page is live.
How long does it take?
It depends on volunteer reviewers, and we do not promise dates. Drafts commonly wait weeks, sometimes months, in a queue we cannot speed up.
