Experienced Wikipedia Editor — Rewrite & Resubmit Declined AfC Biography Draft

Posted last month

Worldwide

Summary

I have a draft biography on English Wikipedia (Draft:Savio Tung — finance / private equity career) that was recently declined at Articles for Creation. The reviewer flagged the prose as reading like AI-generated output, even though the underlying sources and notability are solid. I need an experienced English Wikipedia editor to rewrite the draft in a natural, encyclopedic human voice and shepherd it through AfC to acceptance. Scope: 1. Read the existing draft (~80 lines of wikitext) and the sourcing dossier I will share (~360 lines, full reference list). 2. Substantially rewrite the prose so it reads as written by a human editor — no LLM cadence, no promotional tone. 3. Verify and tighten citations against WP:RS and WP:GNG/WP:BIO standards. Drop weak sources, add any obvious gaps. 4. Resubmit through AfC under your own established Wikipedia account. 5. Make the required WP:PAID disclosure on your user page and the draft's talk page. 6. Respond to reviewer feedback and revise as needed through to a final decision. Deliverables: - Rewritten wikitext for Draft:Savio Tung - AfC resubmission filed - WP:PAID disclosure visible - Engagement with reviewer comments until acceptance or final decline What I will provide: - Current declined draft - Full sourcing dossier with reliable third-party references already collected - COI disclosure template I drafted (you'll file under your own account) Budget: $400 fixed. Bid what your time is worth — I would rather pay fair value to a qualified person than chase the cheapest bid. In your proposal please share: 1. Your Wikipedia username (must be an established account with edit history) 2. 2-3 examples of biographies or articles you have gotten accepted via AfC 3. How you handle WP:PAID disclosure 4. Estimated turnaround from kickoff to first AfC resubmission Hard requirements: - Must disclose paid editing per WP:PAID. I am not interested in editors who try to hide it. - No sockpuppets, no undisclosed accounts. This is a real biography about a real person and I want it to stay up. - No guarantees expected — I understand AfC outcomes are at the reviewer's discretion. Thanks for reading. Looking forward to working with someone who knows Wikipedia well.
