Yes.
Have you ever heard of linguists being paid to edit wikipedia ???
I have no problem with good, useful edits being made by domain experts who are paid for doing so. I think we need to have a deeper discussion about paid editing that does not devolve into knee jerk reactions. There are many COI issues to worry about, but there are also countless ways in which people across the planet could usefully contribute to making Wikipedia a better learning resources, paid or not paid.
