I posted the following here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Conflict_of_interest#Editing_for...: "I have recently been approached by an organisation to improve articles related to the organisation in question (not create new ones). I would receive money for doing so. I am an administrator and am aware of the policies and guidelines that govern Wikipedia. The organisation understands that it is not acceptable to whitewash any articles and that criticism should be included in the article. For them it is a matter of improving the quality of the articles, not to whitewash them. Is this acceptable? Should I decide to go ahead with this I would do so in full disclosure, since I believe doing so without the community being aware would not be ethical, especially since as an admin the community has placed trust in me that I would not want to abuse."
The short answer is "don't, uh-uh, no way."
If they have article content concerns, there's ways to deal with that.
