Careers at WikiBusines
Careers at WikiBusines: editors, researchers, sales
WikiBusines hires editors, researchers, analysts and sales people to work with Wikipedia, Wikidata and AI answers. We value work that survives public review, and an honest no where a project would not.
It starts with material written by outsiders: journalists, researchers, registers.
02 Open roles
Open WikiBusines roles: seven positions
Each role has its own page with the work, the requirements and the first weeks.
03 Sales
Sales manager role: own client search, pay from closed deals
A separate role for people who find their own clients and earn on closed deals. We name the model up front so we don't waste your time.
Terms without the small print
- Pay
- 100% commission. There is no fixed pay.
- Status
- Independent contractor, not an employee.
- Clients
- You build your own base. We don't hand out inbound leads.
- Schedule
- Remote. You choose your hours and methods.
- Calculation
- Commission is based on payments actually received.
- Rate
- Set out on the first call.
Not for you if you need a fixed monthly income, wait for ready leads or sell on promises.

04 What we actually do
Working on a Wikipedia article: from source to monitoring
Every stage has an owner and a result the next person can see.
Source audit
Every source is assessed against WP:RS and WP:NCORP. If there are no grounds, the project does not start.
Researcher→ written verdict and source packDraft
A neutral text where every statement rests on a source. A senior editor reviews it.
Editor→ draft approved by the clientSubmission and defence
Submission under a disclosed account per WP:PAID, replies to reviewers, deletion discussions.
Editor→ published articleMonitoring
Community edits, the state of the article and how the data reaches AI answers.
Editor and AI Visibility Analyst→ weekly change report05 Try it yourself
Test: source audit for a Wikipedia article: three materials, three minutes
Three sample materials about a fictional company N. Choose how you would use each one and compare with an editor's reasoning.
How would you use this source?
National business outlet
A teaching demo. It shows how an editor thinks and gives no verdict on the notability of any real company.
06 People
WikiBusines team: who you will work with
07 Principles
What we value in candidates: three working principles
You see the difference between citing a source and faking one
The market is used to paid placements and citation laundering. We don't work that way.
You would rather kill a project than ship a page that dies in 30 days
Telling a client "this won't pass notability" is a skill too.
You read Wikipedia talk pages
For fun or because you have to, either is fine. What matters is fluency in WP:NCORP, WP:NPOV, WP:RS and the etiquette of discussion.
08 How we collaborate
Working with Wikipedia language editions: each has its own rules
What passes on English Wikipedia may fail on German Wikipedia. Choose a language and see what an editor works with.
English
- Notability
- WP:NCORP, WP:GNG
- Deletion
- Articles for Deletion (AfD)
- Registers
- Companies House, SEC, FCA
- The editor
- A senior editor runs the article from source audit to defence.
Registers confirm facts but do not prove notability.

WikiBusines careers: FAQ answers for candidates
Where does the team work?
Most roles: Kyiv or remote from the EU. Language-edition editors and sales people work remotely.
Full-time or part-time?
Most roles are full-time. Language-edition editors can work full-time or part-time. The Sales Manager works as an independent contractor.
Do I need Wikipedia experience?
For editors, yes: your own account and edit history. For the senior English editor that means 5,000+ edits and at least 20 articles that passed Articles for Creation. Other roles list their requirements on their pages.
Is there a base salary for the Sales Manager?
No. This is independent contractor work at 100% commission, and you build your own client base. The rate and terms are set out on the first call.
Which languages do editors work in?
Native or C2 in the edition's language, plus working English for the team.
Is the trial assignment paid?
Yes, at the role's pro-rated rate. It takes 2–4 hours.
When will I hear back?
Your email reaches a person within one business day and we reply to every application. If you hear nothing in five business days, write again.
Apply: one email instead of a portal and forms
