A longtime Wikipedia admin has been caught editing the online encyclopedia in exchange for cash. But the Wikicult can’t decide if that’s a problem.
Earlier this week, someone noticed a post to an online job marketplace where an entrenched Wikifiddler was advertising his Wikiservices. “Besides technical writing, I also am an accomplished senior Wikipedia administrator with several featured articles to my name,” read the post, which has since been changed. “If you need a good profile on Wikipedia, I can help you out there too through my rich experience.”
(After reading the whole article: do you still feel the same way?)
