Founders
WikiBusines founders: two Wikipedia editors
Roman Melnyk and Bohdan Dubylovskyi started editing Wikipedia as students, studying political science at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Acquaintances kept asking them to update the pages of their companies. When it turned out that nobody in Ukraine offered this professionally, the side project became a company.

How the team works
Project workflow: who is responsible for what
- Sales. First contact, brief, NDA if needed. → Scope and price
- Research. Independent sources assessed against notability criteria. → Verdict: yes, not yet, or no
- Editorial. Neutral text, every claim sourced. → Draft
- Client. Fact check and written approval. → Approved text
- Compliance. Paid-editing disclosure, submission, discussion with editors. → Published article
- Monitoring. 90 days of observation, then annual support. → Edit log
Sources first
If the source base is not there, we say so before the contract.
An audit showed a think tank had too little coverage. After work on the sources, the page was published in the fifth month.
We manage risk, we do not promise results
We do not control or guarantee Wikipedia community decisions, knowledge panels or model answers.
We guarantee the process: if a page cannot be restored within 90 days after 3 attempts, we refund 80% of the amount.
Work after publication
Anyone can edit a page, so publication is the start of the work.
That is what monitoring from €79 a year and annual support from €720 are for.
