Quick Start – Wikipedia

Overview: Quick Start for Wikipedia Campaigns

Reputation X uses a two-tier fee model: the Quick Start (one-time fee) covers initial setup and strategy; the Monthly fee (recurring) covers ongoing maintenance and is resource based, not hourly. The Quick Start fee covers essential one-time setup and strategic activities required to initiate a successful Wikipedia editing campaign.

When Does Quick Start Happen?

Quick Start activities occur within the first month of a Wikipedia editing campaign and run alongside monthly recurring activities like monitoring, peer engagement, and editing cycles.
