Company details

  1. Media Consultant

Written by the company

Dear egomaniacs, my name is James Lawrie, a professional Wikipedia editor from Shrewsbury, Shropshire. I provide strategic, editorially-moderated writing services for Wikipedia's living subjects. I do not upload content that Wikipedia's subjects or prospective subjects have written themselves. Instead I create and upload encyclopaedic content for Wikipedia's community to adopt and develop. I started working in this delightful industry in 2018. Since then I've written about companies, creative, criminals and everyone in between. My new page creation service is my most popular. The page creation package consists of three main steps, with payment required upfront unless specified otherwise: Preliminary Notability Assessment: This service costs £240 and helps determine if the subject meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. An additional £120 can be paid for a draft review if you want the professional Wikipedia editor to review your proposed content. Drafting, Revisions, Coding, and Uploading: Priced at £900, this step involves creating the Wikipedia page based on reliable, secondary sources and using primary sources only for verifying axiomatic statements. Client feedback and revision requests are facilitated through Google documents. Google Indexing: Charged at £900 when Google indexes the page, this step ensures that the Wikipedia page is searchable on Google. The professional Wikipedia editor doesn't charge ongoing "protection fees" as the content is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike Licence 3.0. WikiNative's editing procedure begins with a preliminary viability assessment for prospective clients, ensuring that the editing project is feasible according to Wikipedia's content policies and guidelines. The goal is to improve the visual, technical, and methodological quality of a Wikipedia page, elevating its ranking from stub-class to start-class, C-class, B-class, or A-class. If the viability assessment is successful, an edit plan is created using a Google document, with existing content highlighted in blue. Technical or epistemic issues are addressed, unsourced or poorly sourced content is removed, and new, well-researched content is added in green. The edit plan is thoroughly checked for content-policy violations before execution. A preliminary viability assessment is essential to determine if the client's edit requests align with Wikipedia's guidelines. Once deemed viable, the client will receive a recommendation for a basic, premium, or deluxe package, or a custom quote if the project is larger than the deluxe editing package. To book a preliminary viability assessment or request an invoice, email james@wikinative.com, and avoid sending edit requests without booking an assessment.

Very informative consultation

James provided a thorough custom project outline to my company as we were exploring different agencies to support our Wikipedia brand management.

I don't do phone calls with clients unless they have purchased a preliminary assessment, in which case, they get a ten-minute introductory meet-and-greet call to build rapport. However, I never discuss business on these calls; therefore, your review doesn't relate to a real experience with me. I have requested more information from you, which you have not provided. Therefore, I am guessing you are either my ex-girlfriend's sister seeking retribution for what I did to Wikipedia's entry about their employer, or you are Melvin Tang from ONE Championship. Either way, you are a pathetic person who lacks the notability for a Wikipedia page, and you are taking it out on me with your one-star reviews that no one is going to take seriously. I will contact your employers in the coming days to let them know what you are up to. In the future, I suggest you seek dialectic behavioural therapy for your narcissistic personality disorder and stop harassing me on here and IRL or I will report you to the Police.

There are many Wikipedia editors out

There are many Wikipedia editors out there, but none quite like WikiNative. James Lawrie stands out both for his unparalleled expertise and his genuine kindness.

This is correct. I am the standard by which all other paid Wikipedia editing outfits are judged by.

I can thoroughly recommend WikiNative

I can thoroughly recommend WikiNative. I wanted to create a page for a distinguished UK scientist from the 1930s but my fingers had already been burned by a widely advertised US based Wikipedia consultancy that seemed to have excellent reviews, but once contracted provided very poor communication with little understanding or sympathy with the subject matter, and with no successful outcome after over 12 months at considerable expense. Then I came across James Lawrie and WikiNative. What a difference! WikiNative is a transparent, no-nonsense efficient UK business drawing on many years' experience. There are various options and the costs are clearly stated on the website. An initial phone call with James, and the notability criteria were soon confirmed. The entry was drafted within weeks. James and his colleagues are very precise and knowledgeable about what may and may not be included in a Wikipedia entry and one is recommended to follow their advice. I am extremely pleased with the result. Thank you.
