How WikiNative Studio works
I built WikiNative Studio to keep the working parts of a Wikipedia project together: the source material, the draft, the questions about particular passages and the revisions that follow. It is the private workspace I use for my professional Wikipedia editing and new page creation services.
You can read a draft, add a comment beside the passage you mean and suggest wording for me to review. I research, write and make the editorial decisions. Studio gives us a clear place to do that work.
Start with the right assessment
A new Wikipedia page and a change to an existing article need different starting points. A Preliminary Notability Assessment examines the evidence for a proposed new subject. A Preliminary Viability Assessment examines proposed changes to an existing article.
You choose your service and subscription when you create your account. Assessments are ordered through the shop inside Studio. If you already have a draft, a separately charged Draft Review can identify work needed on its sourcing, neutrality, structure and presentation.
Keep the sources with the draft
Your private workspace keeps the material for the project together. I can work from the sources, develop the draft and discuss what each source supports without losing the context in a chain of emails.
A saved source still needs to be read. I check the original passage against the claim being considered; collecting a document does not make every statement in it suitable for Wikipedia.
Review the passage you mean
Comments sit beside the relevant text. You can point out an error, ask a question or propose a change. I review the suggestion and the evidence before changing the draft, so the discussion stays connected to the wording.
For a team project, choose a plan with the user allowance you need. Your colleagues can review the same draft and keep their feedback in the workspace. You can also try out ideas in your private ScratchSpace.
Prepare the work for Wikipedia
I check the wording, references, structure and WikiText before taking the work forward. Studio also provides a private simulated Wikipedia environment, SimSpace, where a separate copy of the draft can be tested and discussed.
I review those findings as part of the preparation. The simulation does not predict Wikipedia’s decisions: Wikipedia’s editors can change an article after it goes live.
The software and my editorial services
A Studio subscription is required for my professional Wikipedia services. It provides your private workspace, hosting, software maintenance and the monthly assessment credits included in your plan. Project and editorial fees are charged separately. Draft reviews are also charged separately and cannot be bought with assessment credits.
You can read about my Wikipedia page creation and Wikipedia editing services on WikiNative.com, and check the current plans and prices before starting a project.
Try the review tools
The public demonstration uses a sample draft. Open a marked passage, read its discussion and try suggesting a change. It is a useful way to see how reviewing a draft feels before you bring your own project.
