Engagement Notes
Markes E.Johnson (American Geologist) appears in our portfolio as a published Wikipedia engagement.
The brief started with a source audit: which outlets covered the subject independently, how deep that coverage ran, and whether the record could support a durable article under current notability and biography policies.
Drafting emphasised source hierarchy — what belongs in the article and what does not. Claims entered the page only when a reliable citation could carry them; unsupported praise, resume padding, and marketing language were left out.
Where paid editing applied, the relationship was disclosed in line with Wikimedia Terms of Use and English Wikipedia conflict-of-interest guidance. Publication is never guaranteed — volunteer review decides outcomes — but a source-first draft is what gives an article its best chance to survive.
After acceptance, accuracy still depends on new independent reporting. We treat the encyclopedia as a reference work, not a promotional channel.

What went in, and what was left out, followed the independent coverage rather than the brief.
One researches and writes, a second checks each claim against the source cited for it.
Paid contributions are declared on Wikipedia as its terms of use require.
