Editorial

Senior Wikipedia Editor (English)

Kyiv / Remote-EUFull-time

Lead editor on English-language Wikipedia projects — from notability assessment through AfC submission, talk-page defence and post-publication monitoring.

What you'd own

  • Own the editorial lifecycle of 6-10 concurrent EN projects, from source audit to publication.
  • Run the WP:NCORP / WP:GNG assessment up front and tell the account team when a project should not proceed.
  • Write neutral, policy-compliant drafts in plain encyclopedic English; submit via AfC under a disclosed paid-editing account.
  • Defend articles at AfD when challenged — with sources, policy citations, and a calm tone.
  • Mentor 2-3 junior editors; review their drafts before they reach the client.
  • Coordinate with the researcher pod on source packs and with the AI-visibility analyst on post-publication LLM coverage.

You'll thrive here if

  • You have 5,000+ edits on English Wikipedia under your own account and at least 20 articles that passed Articles for Creation.
  • You can explain in one sentence why a Forbes contributor piece is not a reliable source.
  • You're fluent in COI and PAID disclosure templates and have used them.
  • You can hold a position in a deletion discussion without taking it personally.

The first weeks

Onboarding is two weeks paired with a senior editor on real client work. Tooling — our internal source-vetting dashboard, edit-pacing tracker, and AfD-watch — is taught on day one. Escalation paths are documented: if a draft you wrote is challenged at AfD, the founder-editor pair joins the defence within 24 hours. You will never be alone on a contentious article.
