Half the issue in my view is the perception by certain and very active Wikipedians of what PRs do. Often this perception is to say the least misguided. What about the edits of special and morally-based interest groups? It raises the question of who should maintain certain brands. Big debate to be had.

Really? Anyway, I have been making high-quality, referenced, suitable edits to Wikipedia in exchange for payment, for over 5 years. I don't disclose my so-called "conflict of interest", because the Wikipedia community has taught me that this disclosure will merely be used as a bludgeon against my good content. Care to see an example? Here's a Wikipedia administrator rolling back content because he thought it was paid for. Do you see the improvement to Wikipedia, because I don't? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arch_Coal&diff=255482597&oldid=255480884" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arch_Co...</a> “Wikipedia and it’s community…” Really?

What is so sad is that so many people believe they are the first to try it. There are some seriously bad people in the world and some of them do bad things online. People power tends to expose them and in huge numbers meet out punishments. Now get worried... Governments are trying to be better at exposing and punishing bad people. The track record of such initiatives is awful and tends to offer legitimate means for bad people to be bad. There is a simple mantra about Wikipedia. If you try to do bad things on Wikipedia, you need to know that one day, bad things will be visited on you and not just by Wikipedians but by a huge and much wider community.
