Wikipedians to add the articles, on their own independent judgments of
the merits of the articles.
So in essence, you talked him out of editing Wikipedia?
That is incredible! I understand this was basically his business model

His business model still works if the material he writes get used on
Wikipedia - the agreement just means now he won't upload it unless we
approve it first... as far as I understand it.
