Wikipedia Article Creation — Internet Entrepreneur & TEDx Founder (Draft Ready)
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Description:
I am looking for an experienced Wikipedia editor to submit and manage the approval of a Wikipedia article about a notable public figure.
The good news: the work is mostly done. I have a fully researched draft document ready to hand over. It includes a complete article written in neutral encyclopedic tone, 19 verified citations with URLs, and specific instructions for sourcing additional archive citations from Chicago Tribune, Crain's Chicago Business, and Daily Herald newspaper archives.
About the subject:
The subject is an American internet entrepreneur and keynote speaker based in Chicago. Notability is established through multiple independent sources including Chicago Tribune coverage spanning 2015 to 2026, co-founding one of Chicago's first internet service providers in 1992, founding the Midwest's longest-running TEDx event, and keynote speaking for the Gartner Group's Evanta Summit series across 25+ cities globally.
What I need:
Review the draft for Wikipedia compliance and neutral tone
Convert to proper Wikipedia markup/wikitext format
Source approximately 7 additional citations from newspaper archives (instructions provided)
Submit via Articles for Creation (AfC) process
Monitor and respond to any editor feedback or challenges
Deliver a published Wikipedia page
What you must have:
Proven experience submitting and getting Wikipedia articles approved
Knowledge of Wikipedia notability guidelines and Manual of Style
Experience navigating the AfC review process
Ability to handle editor challenges and requested revisions
Please share examples of Wikipedia pages you have successfully published
What I will provide:
Complete article draft in Word document format
19 citations with full URLs already sourced
Specific archive search instructions for remaining citations
All background research materials
This is a straightforward project for an experienced Wikipedia editor. The heavy lifting is done — I just need someone who knows the Wikipedia submission process inside and out.
Budget: Open to proposals. Please share your rate and timeline.
