*Definition of "paid volunteer":*
Paid volunteers are employees, contractors or part time contractors of
Wikimedia organizations or other organizations having agreements or
partnerships with Wikimedia. The paid volunteer contributes to Wikimedia
projects and discussions that influence the content of Wikimedia projects.
This includes employees and contractors that may not be paid for their
on-project activities, however their employer benefits from the content of
the same projects.
Dear Fae,
If I am a student and write wikipedia articles about commercial software my university
uses in my free time, I satisfy this definition. However, I would have no conflict of
interest here, as neither I nor my university gets paid for the new information I would
write.
I think that in such situation, I can silently do my things within interest of satisfying
Wikimedia mission of free knowledge. You should not require anything of me. I would like
you to re-think your definitions here.
