We have 'paid editing', 'COI editing' and 'POV editing' happening all the time. We deal with it. We should be less concerned about the motivation, and more concerned about the output. A fringe academic pushing their theories is just as bad as a corporate shill, if not worse. Am I 'paid editing' when I write articles during 9-5 ? Is that bad? -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
