For those wondering why allowing paid editing might not be such a good idea, take a look at this:
That doesn't have much to do with the issue. We have previously discussed the possibility of groups employing or otherwise paying people to edit Wikipedia within its policies and guidelines. That's a tricky issue with all kinds of potential problems, but also potential benefits.
Quite separate is what to do about companies that blatantly abuse Wikipedia to spam a product or service, or to subvert NPOV. That's black and white: we don't want it, and we'll do all we can to prevent it.
