I totally advocate entrepreneurial efforts, but I don’t think that trying to undermine the integrity of Wikipedia is the right way to do it.
Wikipedia Sends Cease-And-Desist Letter to 300-Strong Sockpuppet Army
Wikipedia has been battling the sockpuppet army since 2012, when one editor discovered five editor accounts being used for fluffy, PR-type writing that is not supposed to appear on Wikipedia. More than 250 accounts, allegedly controlled by Wiki-PR, have since been deleted.
Wiki-PR charges between $500 and $1,000 to have articles written and then $50 a month for ongoing “page management” services.
