WHY PROFESSIONAL WRITING MATTERS
Writing for Wikipedia Is Fundamentally Different From Any Other Kind of Writing
Marketing writers write to persuade. Journalists write to inform and engage. Wikipedia articles are written in an encyclopedic style that most writers — even excellent ones — have never had to master. The neutral point of view, the citation requirements, the infobox structure, the category conventions — Wikipedia has its own entire editorial culture.
Our article writers have been writing for Wikipedia for over a decade. They know what sounds neutral and what reads like marketing copy to a Wikipedia editor. They know which sources qualify as reliable and which will trigger a rejection. That knowledge is the difference between an article that gets published and one that sits in Articles for Creation indefinitely.
