The English section of Wikipedia discusses the admissibility of writing articles for money.

The English section of Wikipedia discusses the admissibility of writing articles for money.

Arguments for:

1. Why do you write articles - it does not matter, the main thing is that their content is free and consistent with the rules of Wikipedia
2. It is impossible to establish the fact that the article was paid by someone
3. Even if someone helps to improve Wikipedia completely free of charge, he can still bring his personal point of view into the article, albeit completely unconsciously, for example, based on his political or religious beliefs.

Arguments against:

1. Written for money articles will have big problems with the neutral point of view - one of the main rules of writing articles
2. Companies with a solid budget can seriously influence the content of Wikipedia by writing custom articles

During the discussion, suggestions were made not forbidding editing Wikipedia for money, to require the authors to disclose the fact of material interest in writing articles, and even to mark articles edited for money with a special template.
