I am a business writer and Wikipedia editor willing to consult with you on the question of you or your business being listed in Wikipedia.

Although Wikipedia, the sixth-largest website on the planet, is the "online encyclopedia that anybody can edit," the community of editors has developed strict standards for inclusion as it strives to be compared favorably with other reference works. Many companies and individuals seeking the exposure of this huge site have discovered that their entries are summarily deleted for being blatant advertising, for lacking notability, or for not adhering to any of a number of obscure policies.

I offer a one-hour consultation for just thirty dollars to review existing sources about you or your business to determine if you have sufficient "Wiki-cred" to get your own entry. I will analyze any online or offline sources that I find or you can provide in that time, and then formulate a plan of action for developing an article if it appears viable.

I also have successfully worked with businesses about whom articles were previously deleted. The Wikipedia community always reviews businesses articles for any indication of promotional material, and if an entry is removed for such reasons it's particularly challenging to write a new article on the same topic successfully.

I guarantee that my work will be an accurate reflection of the sources provided, but if we move beyond the initial consultation I cannot guarantee the ultimate fate of the article. Once an entry is moved into the main article space where the world can see it, any editor may modify it, review it, or even nominate it for deletion. However, I can provide links to articles that I created to demonstrate that I possess the academic understanding to write effectively for Wikipedia.

The rate of $30.00 is for this introductory hour of consultation only; if you wish to proceed with your Wikipedia entry after the initial consultation the time will be billed at my standard rate of $87.00/hour.
