It looks like this is the link to the discussion of “Vipul’s paid editing enterprise”. Based on a quick skim,
this has fallen afoul of the wikipedia COI rules in spectacular fashion—with wikipedia administrators condeming the work as a pyramid scheme
strikes me as something of an overstatement. For example, one quote:
In general, I think Vipul’s enterprise illustrates a need to change the policy on paid editors rather than evidence of misconduct.
Anyway, if it’s true that Vipul’s work on Wikipedia has ended up doing more harm than good, this doesn’t make me optimistic about other EA projects.
