Here's a new job offered on
Freelancer.com:
"Description
Wikipedia writer needed for historic building/hotel in a major city. The
wikipedia page already exist but it is not too detailed to reflect its
rich history.

Is this an acceptable project? How should someone who
gets this contract
handle it?
I'm not sure if I said this before, anyway: I don't see anything wrong with
this in principle, but only in principle. If an editor follows all the
Wikipedia policies, I see no principal reason to ban him solely because he is
getting money for his editing. However, in practice, whenever I see an editor
who appears to be financially connected to the articles he is editing, the
edits do not follow Wikipedia policies. So, no.
