Wikipedia editing services in WikiNative Studio

For WikiNative Studio subscribers, I research and prepare sourced corrections, updates and more substantial improvements to existing articles on the English Wikipedia. I work with clients internationally.

Start with a Preliminary Viability Assessment

Before commissioning edits, I need to examine what you want changed, the article’s current content and the available sources. Some requests are supportable; others conflict with Wikipedia’s requirements or go beyond what the evidence can establish.

My Preliminary Viability Assessment is a written report identifying which aims are viable, the issues that need attention and the likely scope of the work. It can use your one trial assessment request. After the trial it costs £73.50 for subscribers, or one paid monthly assessment credit. Order it through the shop in your Studio account and provide the article link, your proposed changes, supporting sources and relevant previous discussions.

An assessment does not itself include live editing. It helps establish the work to be agreed before an editing project begins.

What to include in a Wikipedia editing request

After activating your Studio subscription or eligible trial, start your assessment request in your private workspace with the article URL. Identify the passage you want examined, explain the problem and include the source that supports your proposed correction. If there are several requests, list them separately so I can assess each one on its own evidence.

For example, if an article says your workshop is in York and it has since moved to Leeds, add the sentence and a dated source for the move to your subscriber workspace. I can then check whether York was wrong at the time or whether the article needs an update that gives both places and the date.

For a long source, include the relevant page number or passage in your subscriber workspace. Include links to earlier edit requests and talk-page discussions. This gives the assessment a clear starting point and keeps the history of the proposed change visible.

Read my guide to preparing an editing brief in WikiNative Studio before submitting your material through your account.

How the editing process works

1. Agree the brief. I review the assessment findings with you and define the changes, deliverables and revision scope. Tell me about previous paid work, disputes and edit requests involving the article.
2. Inspect the article and sources. I examine the existing content and the evidence for each proposed change. I assess sources against the claims they are being used to support, with particular care for living people and contentious material.
3. Prepare an edit plan. I develop the proposed wording, references and rationale in your private Studio workspace. You can identify factual errors, add source material and leave written comments alongside the work.
4. Review and test. I check sourcing, neutrality, structure, references and WikiText. I use private testing to identify problems and address the findings before implementation.
5. Implement the agreed work. I check the wording and sources, then make the agreed edits myself on the English Wikipedia. No COI disclosures, no talk-page requests. Other editors can review or change what I write.

I do not promise to remove criticism, maintenance notices or other material simply because a client dislikes it. Any proposed change needs a defensible editorial basis. Private testing is preparation; it is not approval from Wikipedia.

Wikipedia editing fees

Editing fees are separate from the mandatory WikiNative Studio subscription, which starts at £49 per month. New clients need a subscription for live editing, including work purchased by the hour.

• One-time problem solving: £960 for eight hours of work; £480 upfront and £480 on completion.
• Page Editing Basic: £1,600; £800 upfront and £800 on completion.
• Page Editing Premium: £1,800; £900 upfront and £900 on completion.
• Page Editing Deluxe: £3,000; £1,500 upfront and £1,500 on completion.
• Pay-as-you-go editing: £120 per hour. Research, planning, drafting, checking and implementation count towards the time purchased.

The package and scope are agreed before work starts. Additional live Wikipedia editing outside that scope is charged at £120 per hour. The subscription does not include unlimited personal support, calls, drafting, revisions or editing. Other additional services are charged at their listed or separately quoted price.

One workspace for your editing project

You place orders and submit material through your account. I keep the assessment, source notes, edit plan, comments and revisions together in Studio. Written feedback belongs in the platform; Google Docs and email are not the project feedback workflow.

During my working hours, Monday–Thursday, 9am–5pm UK time, live presence helps us identify when we are both online to work through the proposed edits. Keep questions beside the relevant passage or in Discussion, and attach useful sources. You can leave feedback at any time. Presence updates automatically. Saved changes on the draft page, including comments, replies, suggestions, editorial notes and draft revisions, appear automatically. Refresh or reopen separate Discussion pages to see new contributions. Online does not promise an immediate reply, uninterrupted availability or a guaranteed response time.

Review the proposed wording beside its evidence. A comment can identify a problem or ask a question; a suggestion gives me a particular change to consider. The original wording remains available while I review it. You can practise these steps with the public sample in my Studio draft review guide before leaving feedback on your own project. My worked editing example shows how I check a proposed correction against its sources and decide what the revised sentence can say.

Your subscription pays for the platform, hosting, Gattitos, maintenance, updates and your plan’s assessment allowance. Your editorial fee pays for the professional work agreed between you and me.

What the service can and cannot promise

What should I check before I hire a Wikipedia editor?

Ask how the editor will assess your request, check the evidence and explain the proposed changes. A quotation should identify the work included, the revision scope and any separate assessment or subscription charges. I assess your request myself and set out the work and fees before you commission the edits.

I can research the evidence, prepare supported changes and explain my editorial decisions. I cannot sell ownership of an article or guarantee that other editors will accept or retain a change. Search rankings and Google Knowledge Panels are not guaranteed.

If there is no existing article, you need a different assessment and project. My Wikipedia page creation service starts with a Preliminary Notability Assessment.
