Paid editing
See WP:PAID. For example, people who work for a company or an individual are considered paid if they want to create or edit an article. They are required to declare their paid status on their User page. Undeclared paid editing is grounds for being indefinitely blocked. There are also indepedent companies that offer to create or edit article for payment. Some of these are scams. Even if legit, the people hired to do the work must declare paid. As noted at Teahouse, th vast majority of work is done by unpaid volunteers. I, for one, have been editing for more than 15 years, >40,000 edits, raised more than a dozen articles to Good Article status, all as a volunteer. David notMD (talk) 13:31, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
