No. First, you'll also need to put how many person edited the article, 
how many times it was edited, and blablabla numbers. Not only could it 
prevent new useful edits (oh it was already so much raffined, how could 
I dare edit it), but it would probably encourage "let's make this 
article have a big edit count" useless contributions.

Now I don't understand, do we have suddely so much need for paid edit? 
I mean, sure I would love spending my days "improving" wikipedia and 
other wikimedia projects, being paid for that. Give me a median salary, 
and I sign right now, and I'm sure I won't be alone here. But I also 
would be serriously affraid that it could harm the movement, which I 
thing is far more important than my personal pleasure of being a full 
time editor.
