It's great advice. And paid PR people are not OK.
But, frankly,
they're not OK in the same way sockpuppets aren't OK. It's not that
you're not allowed to do it, it's just that you're not allowed to do
it so badly that we notice and go "Oh for fuck's sake."
I would say that the point of having WP:COI in relation to PR folk is this: assuming a
measure of professionalism, they are going to be discouraged by it being against the site
rules. Assuming a measure of intelligence, they will see that we can CheckUser them and
drop them in it, career-wise. This gives them reasons to think they can find easier ways
to earn a living than by edit warring against high school kids with admin powers.
