Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible
Addressing Public Relations on Wikipedia has gone around in circles since inception - it is one of the flaws that never gets addressed in any meaningful way... there is just too much money involved to pass on free PR and managing the narrative...
2005 - Wales edited his own Wikipedia page to erase Bomis Babes and Larry Sanger
2006 - My Wiki Biz
2007 - Microsoft in house editing

2011 - HJ Mitchell "Dealt with It"

I heard a lot about their corruption a few months ago, but have yet to have seen a post about them on WS.

Tupperware
Tupperware going burp - bankrupt - about to be ka-put.. Wikipedia is late to the Tupperware party with no mention in the current version.

Tupperware
a) very funny
b) the Tupperware article shows the usual paid-editing traces
c) so I'm moving this to the Paid Editing thread

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible
I swear that someone from the South Korean tourist board is editing English WP

contains breathless drivel like

Also on Jeju Island:

More of the same inThe Geomunoreum lava tube system is the most impressive and significant series of protected lava tubes in the world and includes a spectacular array of secondary carbonate speleothems (stalactites and other formations). It overwhelms other lava tubes with its abundance and diversity. The Geomunoreum lava tube system, which is regarded as the finest such cave system in the world, has an outstanding visual impact even for those experienced with such phenomena. It displays the unique spectacle of multi-colored carbonate decorations adorning the roofs and floors, and dark-colored lava walls, partially covered by a mural of carbonate deposits.

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible
Saw this today
https://www.propublica.org/article/ugly ... gly-houses
So checked the WP coverage
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomeVestors_of_America
This person created it in 2011 and made it into a corporate BJ.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:C ... Lbernfeld1
This freak tried to be "subtle". But wasn't.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:C ... loral_Sent
Problem? Of course there's a problem. You can be sure of it, knowing that Golden Fuckhead Of The Wiki David Gerard tried to delete the article in 2019, shortly after Floral Sent's edit binge, despite the subject being unquestionably "notable enough". HomeVestors already had a dark reputation but it took a ProPublica expose to get it on Wikipedia. That's partly because HomeVestors and their franchisees tend to make legal threats to shut people up.
AND HAVE A NICE DAY
