Thanks, Molly. I encouraged people interested in understanding the
different views on the topic as it relates to Wikipedia English (and
perhaps other wikis) to read this discussion.

Pine,
We quite rarely receive requests to look into suspicions of paid editing
based on private information. We have historically been reluctant to act
on
them for a number of reasons: it's very prone
to error, it's often an
incredible amount of work, and we open ourselves up personally to legal
risk by doing so. I believe there was some discussion on this onwiki
around
six months ago, I will try to dig up a link.
