And if editors know these articles are being written, you can be sure they will be NPOVed out the wazoo. (As well as nominated for deletion whether they should be or not, but anyway.) Hey, it's someone writing GFDL material. We don't lose by at least considering it. - d.

If they're not as displeased as S*ll*g was by the results of NPOV applied to a press release article, that's fine ;-) I see no evidence of a disaster here as yet. If MyWikiBiz really want to maintain that "zero deletions," it'll be in the interests of their business to keep their content good. - d.

The article was created, and then blanked and listed for deletion by User:Thekohser ("{{nonsense}} There is no such hotel. This article was intended for Sandbox. My apologies."), presumably so they could make the demonstration screenshots on their website (it is indeed the same article). Ed (ed_g2s) Mathias Schindler wrote:

"Thekohser" is Gregory Kohs, who is a reasonably active editor and seems to have clue a'plenty. He is also the founder of, guess who... http://mywikibiz.com/aboutus.html The edits for the company seem to be, nicely and transparently, done under User:MyWikiBiz. Look through the contributions - there's nothing hideously bad there. Paid-for editing is going to happen. We have it being done publicly, cleanly, with standards and with clue. Not sure we've got much to worry about. -- - Andrew Gray andrew.gray(a)dunelm.org.uk
