WikiNative - Shrewsbury

In a digital age where there’s plenty of information but not much knowledge, I was lucky to find James Lawrie and his WikiNative platform for my music industry client. He has an excellent grasp on the music and arts scenes that I really appreciated and his writing style is eloquent and engaging.

His ability to meticulously navigate and edit Wikipedia sets a benchmark in the industry and he demonstrates what can be achieved when passion meets expertise. I highly recommend WikiNative for anyone in the music industry or the arts who needs these services.

I wholeheartedly recommend WikiNative. Seeking to secure a page for a distinguished UK scientist from the 1930s 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.

It's not often you come across a unique business offering a unique service in such an obscure niche. To be honest, I had no idea that there were people offering to create Wikipedia pages for money until one of my long term clients demanded one. The first step was a notability assessment, I was worried that my client would fail at the first hurdle as while they're a respected academic in their field they aren't quite what I would call A-list. However, like all bonafide geniuses James has an uncanny way of spotting opportunities where others see chaos and disorder. He seemed to know precisely what steps to take and when to take them and even accurately predicted where my client's page would sit on Wikipedia's page ranking scale. He even went as far as leaving a couple of deliberate mistakes in the draft so that other editors would fix the mistakes, thus negating any suspicion of undisclosed paid editing. I genuinely believe that James Lawrie is one of the greatest minds in the digital communications industry and both me and my client believe that hiring him was the best £2040 we have ever spent. James is very transparent about his process and I have successfully carried over the stuff that I learned from working with James into other areas of my business, providing additional value for money. I am very much looking forward to working with James again very soon.

I got in touch with James at WikiNative to support a client who had tried multiple times to create a Wikipedia page over the last number of years. Initially, I wasn't sure about giving James full control of the content but I'm really glad I did. The page has finally stayed and while it was very lean compared to what we had initially been aiming for, having achieved the page and increased that online presence is great. Thanks!

I hired James to assess a client's notability to see if they qualified for a Wikipedia page. While they didn't qualify, James did provide me with a very helpful document explaining how Wikipedia editors evaluate sources and what I would need to do to get my client onto Wikipedia. At £120 per hour he is a little overpriced, meaning I probably won't be using him as much as I would have liked to, but I appreciate that everyone's had to put their prices up because of Covid/Brexit and the looming tax hike.

I hired WikiNative for a Premium New Page Creation about a notable client which Wikipedia had rejected several times before. James and his assistant really are at the top of their game. Despite Wikipedia’s content policies forbidding us from promoting the subject, they were able to create a type of content that isn’t available elsewhere on the Internet. Since getting a Wikipedia page, my client has experience a fourfold increase in traffic to their website. I have literally never seen them this happy. Thanks guys

WikiNative's notability assessment was very eye-opening. We now have an idea of which direction we need to take our PR strategy in.

James was hired for a project which he delivered well. Would recommend his services.
