This work would be as a volunteer and only people with a medical background are requested to apply. However, in case you are not from a medical background and still would like to contribute to Wikipedia, there is a different scope of engagement. Inform.
Wikipedia has a huge readership especially with respect to health-related information. Both professionals, as well as laypeople, read health information on Wikipedia and it is important to ensure the quality of such information. Since ILAE (International League Against Epilepsy) plays a pivotal role with respect to work in the field of epilepsy, the ILAE Wikipedia Epilepsy Project is an initiative to ensure the scientific accuracy of the information on epilepsy-related articles on Wikipedia. Wikipedia editors work as volunteers and therefore the position is without a stipend. However, you would receive credits for your work and there are other perks involved.
