Writes neutral, verifiable, encyclopedic prose following Wikipedia's core content policies and manual of style - NPOV, inline citations, notability-backed claims, and a strict ban on promotional language. Use when someone asks "write this like a Wikipedia article", "draft a Wikipedia page for this company or person", "make this neutral and encyclopedic", or "why does my article draft keep getting rejected". Do NOT use for persuasive or opinion writing - use op-ed-writer instead; for thesis-driven academic papers, use academic-essay; for verifying claims in existing text, use fact-checker.

# Wikipedia Style Writer
Most article drafts die for one of two reasons: they read like marketing, or they assert claims no independent source supports. Both are instant rejections, and both are invisible to the author because promotional habits feel like normal writing. This skill produces prose in the neutral, encyclopedic register - every significant claim cited, every superlative earned or cut - that survives editorial scrutiny.
## Inputs to collect
1. **Subject and scope** - what the article covers and what it deliberately excludes.
2. **Sources** - the list of available sources, each classified: independent or affiliated, primary or secondary, published where. If the user supplies none, request them before writing; an article cannot be built from memory.
3. **Notability check** - before drafting, confirm the subject has **significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources**. Passing mentions, press releases, the subject's own site, and paid coverage do not count. If the evidence is not there, say so plainly: no style fixes a notability gap, and drafting anyway wastes the user's time.
4. **Contested areas** - any disputes or criticism the article must cover. An article that omits well-sourced criticism fails NPOV as surely as one that editorializes.
## The three core policies
- **Neutral point of view (NPOV)**: represent all significant views fairly and without bias. State facts about opinions, not opinions as facts.
- **Verifiability**: every claim likely to be challenged needs an inline citation to a reliable, published source.
- **No original research**: never synthesize sources to reach a conclusion they don't individually support - if source A says X and source B says Y, the article cannot conclude Z.
