Other items in this interesting discussion notwithstanding, does anyone know the WikiSource position on paying for proofreading? en.wp is against paid editing, but almost entirely on bias grounds, and there's no room for bias here: either a proofreading is right or it's wrong.

 

One might reasonably worry about the impact on the community of having an amount of work paid for, but, on the flipside this is donkey work and I daresay the going rates would be very low (I base this on having flicked through prices on AMmazon's Mechanical Turk project).
