Wikipedia page creation in WikiNative Studio

Can you or your client have a Wikipedia page?

Not every person, business or project qualifies for an article. Wikipedia uses notability criteria to decide whether a subject warrants its own page. A successful business, an impressive career or a large collection of press releases does not establish that case.

Before I write a word of the article, I check whether the published evidence supports one. My Preliminary Notability Assessment tells you where the case stands and what’s missing. I keep testing that judgement as I research and draft. If the case falls short, I’ll tell you. My fee pays for the work. It cannot buy notability or guarantee acceptance.

What my Wikipedia page creation service includes

I’m James Lawrie. I research and write new Wikipedia articles and can rewrite a draft you already have. If you have a proposed draft, upload it to your WikiNative Studio scratch pad and pay the separate Draft Review fee before I look at it. The amount of material to be revised, the deliverables and the revision scope are agreed before work begins.

My source submission window is available only to WikiNative Studio subscribers. My server blocks large attachments, .docx files, .txt files and Excel files. Do not email these to me. Subscribe to WikiNative Studio and use its uploader.

1. Research and structure. I identify the applicable notability route, inspect the strongest supporting sources and develop the outline around that evidence. For company and organisation first drafts, I use only reliable, independent secondary sources that support or directly contribute to the company-notability case.
2. Drafting and client review. I write a neutral, referenced account that makes the evidential basis clear. You can flag factual problems and supply further sources. I review proposed changes against accuracy, relevance and proportion, as well as their effect on the article’s notability case.
3. References, WikiText and testing. I check the citations, links, formatting, structure and language. I use my private simulation to identify issues before public scrutiny, then review and address the findings.
4. Preparation for Wikipedia. When the article is ready, I publish it directly on Wikipedia. After activating your Studio subscription or eligible trial, add links to any previous drafts, submissions or deletion discussions in your private workspace.

I do not sell control over a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia editors may change, challenge or remove content. My private testing does not constitute approval by Wikipedia or its editors.

Wikipedia page creation cost

The New Page Creation project fee is £1,800, plus a mandatory WikiNative Studio subscription from £49 per month. The subscription and professional project fee are separate charges. See what you would pay in the first month on Solo.

• Preliminary Notability Assessment: Included as your one trial assessment request, or £49 for paid subscribers or one paid monthly assessment credit.
• Draft Review: £24.50, paid separately before I review a draft uploaded to your WikiNative Studio scratch pad. It is not included in assessment credits and does not replace a notability assessment.
• First project stage: £900 upfront covers my time drafting, redrafting, revising, testing and refining the proposed content in Studio, and uploading it to Wikipedia. This applies whether I write from scratch or rework your material. Statutory rights remain available.
• Completion commission: A further £900 is due on the successful-completion criteria stated in your accepted project order. I agree those criteria before the order. Existing projects retain their agreed terms.

Your subscription provides the platform, hosting, testing, updates and your plan’s assessment allowance. It does not include unlimited drafting, revisions, calls or personal support. Work beyond the agreed scope is billed separately. The full plans and service prices and terms and conditions explain the arrangements.

Working with me in WikiNative Studio

You order assessments and project services through the shop inside your account. You submit sources, review the draft and leave written feedback in the platform. Google Docs and email are not the project feedback workflow.

Live presence shows when we are both online during my working hours, Monday–Thursday, 9am–5pm UK time. We can use that overlap to review a passage, ask questions and work through feedback in your private WikiNative Studio space. You can also leave comments and source material outside those hours. 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.

When you review the draft, identify the passage you mean, explain any factual problem and include the source that supports your proposed correction. Studio keeps a wording suggestion alongside the original for me to examine. My guide to reviewing a Wikipedia draft in Studio shows how to follow a discussion, try a suggestion and inspect a reference in the public sample. My worked new-page example follows a fictional business from source notes to a reviewable draft.

The draft is an encyclopaedic account, not a promotional biography or company brochure. Notability concerns whether the subject warrants an article; individual details must also be verifiable, relevant and proportionate. Tell me about previous Wikipedia activity involving the subject and identify factual issues during review.

Questions before commissioning an article

When will I see James online?

Only when I am recently active during Monday–Thursday, 9am–5pm UK time. Being within working hours does not automatically mark me online. Outside those hours, Studio shows Outside working hours; you can still leave feedback for me to review.

Which notability criteria apply?

For companies and organisations, I check the company guideline’s scope and any applicable alternatives. For a person, I consider the general biographical test and any applicable occupational criteria. A company’s eligibility does not transfer to its founder. My guide to notability routes explains the distinctions.

Does a positive assessment mean the article is ready?

No. An initial assessment identifies a potential route. The research must substantiate it, and the draft must demonstrate it through a neutral account of what the sources support. Further evidence can strengthen the case or expose a gap.

Who writes my Wikipedia article?

I write it myself. Take an award mentioned in a company brief. If the published shortlist names the company but the winners list names someone else, I can describe it as shortlisted. You can see the wording and its source together in Studio. If you have a report that gives a different account, leave it beside that sentence so I can check it.

How do I compare Wikipedia page creation services?

If you’re comparing professional Wikipedia writers or a page creation agency, ask who will write the article and who will check it when a source contradicts your brief. Ask to see a sentence alongside the passage used to write it. My guide to Wikipedia writing explains what to look for. Before you commission anyone, get an itemised quote covering the assessment, drafting, revisions and any subscription, and ask what happens if the evidence falls short.

Can you guarantee publication or that the page will stay?

No. Wikipedia is independently edited. I cannot guarantee acceptance, retention, a particular search ranking or a Google Knowledge Panel. My fees pay for the research and editorial work described in the agreed scope. My guide explains how to publish a Wikipedia page, including what happens when you submit a draft for review.

How long does creating a page take?

The time depends on the sources, the scope, the condition of any existing draft, the revisions needed and your cooperation. Delays in providing sources, answering questions or reviewing the work affect the schedule. I agree the work with you after assessment. I do not promise a fixed publication deadline or a particular review outcome.

What if I already have a draft?

Upload it to your WikiNative Studio scratch pad and purchase a separate Draft Review before I look at it. The review examines its sourcing, neutrality, structure and presentation. Rewriting is charged separately from the Draft Review.

What if a Wikipedia article already exists?

That is an editing project. Start with a Preliminary Viability Assessment to examine the proposed changes. My Wikipedia editing services page explains the process and fees.

What to prepare for a Wikipedia page creation assessment

Once your Studio subscription or eligible trial is active, submit the subject’s name and links to substantial published coverage, or reliable evidence of achievements relevant to specialist criteria, through your private workspace. Where a source is long, identify the relevant pages or passages. Include the original publication details so I can distinguish independent reporting from copies of the same material.

After subscribing, record earlier Wikipedia drafts, submissions and deletion discussions involving the subject in your private workspace. If you already have a proposed draft, put it in your Studio scratch pad and order the separate Draft Review before I look at it.

My guide to preparing a Wikipedia project explains how to organise the brief, source material and project history in Studio.

Start with your Studio trial

Activate a WikiNative Studio subscription or eligible seven-day trial first. Once it is active, order a Preliminary Notability Assessment through your account and submit the subject’s name, source links and previous Wikipedia history in your private workspace. I do not accept briefs, links, sources or drafts before your subscription or eligible trial is active. This applies equally to agencies.

Sign in to your account

Card required. Plans from £49/month after seven days, renewing monthly unless cancelled. Cancel before your trial ends to avoid the first subscription payment. One trial assessment per account. Draft Reviews and editorial work are charged separately. Private reports and drafts are reviewed inside Studio under the private-use terms.
