Revive Deleted Longform Wikipedia Biography
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I am in need of an individual experienced in Wikipedia article writing. The task at hand is recreating a biography, specifically adhering to the following requirements:
- Topic: The biography is about my dad, more information can be found here: https://jimconnors.net/dad-the-original-jc
- Length: The end product should be a long-form Wikipedia article, exceeding 1000 words, most of the core content exists on the website, to include cited sources.
- Sources: All necessary reputable sources for crafting the article are made available.
Strong command over English, familiarity with Wikipedia's writing style and guidelines, as well as experience in research and fact-checking are crucial for this role. Any past experience with biography writing would distinctly be a plus. Please only apply if you've had success in getting articles featured on Wikipedia in the past.
Here's the page that used to be, you can follow the details of the talk page down the rabbit hole: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Connors
