Their main page refers to an article "Farsight Hotel" which happens to be deleted. The talk page is deleted too, but seems to be in a Reminder Page of some editor.
Is this related to mywikibiz in any way?
The page was created by "Thekohser", and deleted on his request - "There is no such hotel. This article was intended for Sandbox. My apologies." - which is fair enough, we've all accidentally created something in the wrong namespace. I assume it was only ever intended as a fictional mockup.
"Thekohser" is Gregory Kohs, who is a reasonably active editor and seems to have clue a'plenty. He is also the founder of, guess who... http://mywikibiz.com/aboutus.html
The edits for the company seem to be, nicely and transparently, done under User:MyWikiBiz. Look through the contributions - there's nothing hideously bad there.
Paid-for editing is going to happen. We have it being done publicly, cleanly, with standards and with clue. Not sure we've got much to worry about.
