Hello,

In response to some community comments on the proposed amendment to the Terms of Use on undisclosed paid edits, the WMF's LCA team has suggested two optional changes to the scope of the amendment. The aim is to address concerns regarding reactions against editors who are suspected of violating the disclosure requirements, and protecting good-faith contributors (such as professors, students, and Wikipedians in Residence). These options are not mutually exclusive - both of them, either, or neither could be adopted, depending on your input.

These new options are available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and other languages. 

Please review these options on the Terms of Use amendment page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Terms_of_use/Paid_contributions_amendment#Optional_changes

And please share comments or feedback in this discussion page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Terms_of_use/Paid_contributions_amendment#Discussion_for_Optional_Changes

Many thanks for everyone's participation in the ongoing discussion on the Terms of Use amendment. 

Best,
Stephen Laporte
