    this person I found online says he want to charge me hundred dollars to write an article and put it on Wikipedia. He says my article will stay on Wikipedia he says he knows a way to make it stick. Do you think this person is legit or it's a scam? Is it even worth putting an article on Wikipedia?

    Scam.

    Wikipedia bases things off of notoriety, and they remove non-notable articles wantonly.

    Definitely a scam. They delete articles all the time, and there isn't a way "to make them stick."

    Adding a quality, related link to Wikipedia can bring some good traffic though.
