Paid editing disclosure

Paid editing disclosure is Wikipedia's requirement that people paid to edit disclose their employer and client.

Why it is required

Wikimedia's terms of use require disclosure; undisclosed paid editing leads to blocks and deletions.

How

On the user page, in edit summaries or on the talk page, stating on whose behalf and for which client. Our Wikipedia work follows this rule.

Frequently asked questions

Does disclosure hurt acceptance?

No; it lets editors assess proposals with confidence. Source quality decides.
