Expertise in researching, writing, publishing and editing ethical and responsible Wikipedia content.

Why have an article on Wikipedia? Wikipedia is one of the world’s most visited websites; a collective endeavour to capture the history of the world and the people within it.
Notability
Having an article on Wikipedia about yourself or your company is proof of your notability. Indexed Wikipedia pages will ususally appear amongst the top three google results. Anyone can have a website but not everyone can have a Wikipedia page.
Authenticity
Being part of Wikipedia boosts your credibility and authenticity. Their structures and guidelines ensure the trustworthiness of the information, and that people can trust your reputation too.
Opinion
Wikipedia plays a vital role in informing public opinion; journalists rely on Wikipedia for research, and indexed Wikipedia content feeds into Siri and Alexa voice results as well as enhancing your Google knowledge panel.
Expertise.
Some of the things Wikipedia Lab excels at
|01
Experience
We have years of experience editing Wikipedia, from the inside. We have been trained by Wikipedia staff themselves, so you can be assured we know how to produce Wikipedia approved content.
|02
Compliance
Wikipedia guidelines can be complex, but our experience means we know how to navigate their policies to tell your story. There are no guarantees with open source products like Wikipedia, but we work constructively within it, which means we write encyclopedic content, not adverts that will be removed.
|03
Dedication
We are ethical Wikipedia editors who are dedicated to the vital Wikipedia mission, and contributing to a collective that reflects the diverse makeup of society. We will never publish biased or promotional content, which means your story has longevity.
Wikipedia services.
We offer page editing, page creation and consultancy services for notable individuals or companies. We are committed to the Wikipedia mission, which means ethical Wikipedia editing. No promotion or advertising. No bias. Neutral content. This means we can’t generate content for just anyone- if you do not have the notability required, wholly decided by the quality of the press published on you, we will not be able to create or edit your page. But we can advise you on how to get there.
Page editing
We edit already existing Wikipedia pages, offering anything from smaller edits to complete page overhauls.
We can update the content and sources on your page, change the structure, or fix problematic page tags and issues, working with the editors who flagged the issues.
Page creation
We can create Wikipedia pages for notable individuals or companies. This includes source research, writing and uploading the page- all in line with Wikipedia’s policies.
We will only do this for genuinely notable individuals or companies, as evidenced by the right sources. There are no shortcuts to Wikipedia notability.
Consulting services
Not sure if you or your company are ready for a Wikipedia page? We can consult by auditing your sources- reading each and assessing if they are likely to pass Wikipedia’s notability guidelines.
We will tell you what’s required to get you Wikipedia ready, advising you on how many more sources you need, and which publications they should be from.

If anyone can edit Wikipedia, why bother hiring a paid editor?
Although in theory anyone has the right to edit wikipedia, this doesn’t mean any information can go on there. Their strict guidelines mean all edits must be backed up by the right kind of sources. Wikipedia has many editors contributing to it, the role of many of these is to check the edits other editors are making. Every page created on Wikipedia must eventually be reviewed by an experienced editor, and they will not hesitate to remove content they don’t see as notable…[read more]
I've found cheaper Wikipedia services elsewhere, why shouldn't I hire them?
There are many companies and individuals who advertise paid Wikipedia services, and some of them are incredibly cheap. These are unscrupulous businesses who burn through Wikipedia accounts which quickly get discovered by the Wikipedia investigative team and closed down…[read more]
Why does it cost more to create content for companies than individuals?
Wikipedia is rightly concerned about people using it nefariously, as a space to advertise or promote products or services. This means pages created about companies are subject to a higher level of scrutiny than individuals…[read more]
How can I be sure the content I've paid for will stay?
The vital part of Wikipedia is its open source nature- the way it works is democracy in action. However, for this same reason there are no guarantees on Wikipedia. Your content can and will be changed by others eventually, though usually in good faith resulting in positive contributions…[read more]
How does your payment process work?
You pay for page editing or creation in two parts. Payment one is paid upfront and covers the cost of auditing sources, researching you/your company, drafting the content, responding to feedback, and publishing the page. We allow up to 30 days for this part of the process…[read more]
