Wikipedia Editor — Other-language editions (DE / FR / ES / IT / PL / UA)

RemoteFull-time or part-time

Native or near-native editors for the non-English Wikipedia editions we ship into. One language per role; multiple roles open across DE, FR, ES, IT, PL, UA.

What you'd own

  • Run the local-language notability assessment — what counts as reliable in DE Wikipedia is not the same as in EN.
  • Translate and adapt approved EN drafts into a properly-sourced local-language article — not a machine translation, a re-sourced one.
  • Find local-language sources the EN team won't find: regional press, ministry filings, court records, academic databases.
  • Submit via the language edition's review process (AfC, NPP, or direct creation depending on the wiki's culture).
  • Defend at the local deletion-discussion equivalent (Löschkandidaten, Débat d'admissibilité, Pagine da cancellare, etc.) in the local language.
  • Flag local-policy quirks the EN team needs to know about — every Wikipedia edition has its own etiquette.

You'll thrive here if

  • Native or C2-level reading and writing in the target language; comfortable working in English on the team side.
  • Existing edit history on the target-language Wikipedia under your own account.
  • You know the local press landscape well enough to spot a paid placement at first read.
  • You're willing to say 'this works in EN Wikipedia but not in DE Wikipedia' — and explain why.

The first weeks

First two weeks: shadow a senior editor on the EN side to learn our source-vetting workflow, then take the lead on three small local-language projects with the EN senior reviewing source quality before submission. After month one you own your queue end-to-end. We share a weekly 30-minute call across all language-edition editors to compare policy interpretation drift.
