I'm very new to this concept of paid editing.
But from what I understood
paid editing is allowed, as long as the editors disclose who they are paid
by on their talk page or in edit summaries. I understood this to be
roughly the idea of the Wikipedian in Residence title. I didn't look this
up on purpose, because I wanted to point out this might be a common
existing understanding. Am I mistaken? What is the policy?
Different wikis have different policies on paid editing, most have no
policy. There is no global policy.
I've been poked to clarify:
Terms of Use[0] prohibit undisclosed paid editing. Local projects may have
their own way of interpreting and enforcing this. Local projects can also
opt out of this particular prohibition in the Terms of Use.
0.
