Pine,
Has there been a recent substantial discussion by the community surrounding
promotional/biased editting paid or otherwise, which had an outcome
resulting in a specific request for assistance or increased action by the
WMF?
If there hasn't, I do not see grounds for you to be expecting an official
response from Legal to a list whose conversation has for the most part
consisted of about 6 people?
Many others, I am sure, would rightly complain if the Foundation
unilaterally made decisions in this area. But please be realistic, this is
a coffee table discussion. The views expressed here are valid but the right
thing to do would be to further the conversation on wiki and have a proper
community conversation. We have mechanisms exactly for this kind of thing.
Lets actually use them.

I'm bumping this thread in the hope that there
will be official comments
from WMF regarding their willingness to take a more assertive legal
approach to addressing and deterring promotionalism and other inappropriate
changes to Wikipedia content by people and organizations who have conflicts
of interest, whether or not those conflicts are disclosed.
