Conflict of interest in Wikipedia: WP:PAID policy

hi Todd. By way of introduction, I work on conflict of interest issues in Wikipedia along with my regular editing.

You have apparently been around a long while! I am not sure you aware that in Jun 2014, the Terms of Use for all Wikimedia Foundation properties, including Wikipedia, was changed.

If you edit for pay, you must disclose your employer and the client, for each such edit you make. This is described in WP:PAID which is Wikipedia policy.

We also ask people who have a conflict of interest for a given topic, including people paid to edit that topic, not to edit directly, but rather propose changes on the article Talk page; and instead of creating articles directly, to submit them through the articles for creation process. This provides peer review, which is a standard way to manage conflict of interest.

These two steps, disclosure and peer review, are essential for protecting the integrity of Wikipedia and the public's trust in it.

Would you please add a disclosure to your user page of the articles you have edited on behalf of clients, and in the future, would you please follow the peer review process? You can reply here, just below this. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 21:41, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, Jytdog. I do have a disclosure on my user page at vanhoosear that states that I may "from time to time be asked by an active client to make edits to Wikipedia entries about or relevant to" their business. The history page traces all of my edits, but they're a mixed of paid and unpaid. I would be happy to be more specific about the pages I edit on behalf of clients on my user page.

I have also employed talk pages and article suggestion pages, as well as other remedies for requesting edits to certain pages, but the topics I write about are apparently not terribly closely tracked and I rarely get input. It's not a BIG surprise, as I have rather obscure tastes it seems. It's perfect perhaps for the long tail of internet content, but it can make for (infinitely?) long waits for edits and page creations. I just posted a new article request a few moments ago and will continue to follow the proscribed process. Thanks for stopping by and chatting. I believe like you do that Wikipedia is stronger because of the attention people give to the content on it. Let me know if you have any other thoughts or feedback, please! Best, Vanhoosear (talk) 19:48, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Jytdog Please see my updated User page for a specific list of pages I was in some form or another compensated for. Best, Vanhoosear (talk) 20:01, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! Almost there. I don't mean to be pedantic, but PAID calls for you to name your employer and the client. It is pretty obvious who the client is for most of those (I'm not sure on the 3D scanner client one), so you could please include in parentheses (employer, client) after each of them? Might as well do this right. If you were freelancing then you can just list the client. Once that is done I can put the {{connected contributor (paid)}} on the relevant talk pages, and the disclosure piece will be done.

I know that waiting on the peer review piece can be ungodly long and is bad for business, but please do that, and please submit paid articles through WP:AFC. The peer review step is really essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia. If you want you can ping me if something is lingering - I would be glad to help. And I am curious to check out your WP editing chops anyway!  :) There are a couple of paid editors I have been working with pretty regularly and through the repeated interaction things get more and more efficient: I don't mind working with paid editors who really understand our content policies; I like it actually. Jytdog (talk) 21:16, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Jytdog I don't think Wikipedia editors need to apologize for being pedantic -- it's part of our job! :-) I would love for the paid contributor recommendations/requirements to be a little more explicit. Right now the requirements are pretty vague and only mention the places where you should disclose. Being this explicit makes sense -- but let's get everyone on the same page! And again, thanks! Best, Vanhoosear (talk) 20:01, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

I'm working on that, slow and steady, as are others. Change takes time here. Jytdog (talk) 20:04, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
