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.
