What does any of this have to do with Wikipedia? There are already policies
in place regarding NPOV and NPA, and there are multiple dispute resolution
processes in place to handle serial/chronic non-compliance. What protections
does _anyone_ have against defamation on Wikipedia? Well, if they are the
subject of an article there is WP:BLP. If they are just an editor and not
the subject of the article there is the policy mandating No Personal
Attacks. What makes you think these won't work if people are getting paid?
Is this an issue of scalability? If so, it seems a little late to be worried
about whether or not the idea of Wikipedia is scalable.

**********
The point here is paid employees of a non-profit entity with an agenda
evidenced by initiating internal processes of dispute resolution. This is
something not addressed in any policies anywhere. ( 1 ) They are agents of
a non-profit entity; ( 2 ) volunteers in dispute have no disclosure as to *
whom* they are in dispute with; ( 3 ) the dispute may not be initiated for
the purposes of improving articles or writing an encyclopedia; ( 4 ) what
protections do volunteer editors, acting in good faith, have against being
targeted and publicly defamed by a non-profit entity with a political
agenda?
