With all of the grace of a bison in a crystal shop, Jimbo tries to clearly portray
how he feels about paid editing. Jimbo even comes down rather firmly
against the Campus Ambassadors program, funded by the Wikimedia Foundation via a Stanton grant:
QUOTE
If those [student] editors edit as paid advocates (whether paid by money or course credit), then that's wrong, and banned.
-- Jimbo Wales
The "community" has begun its familiar process of conveying to Jimbo -- without themselves getting banned for saying so -- that he is mostly an idiot.
Certainly better than being a
complete idiot, I assume?
It's been said before and it will be said again: Who cares about paid editing as long as the information is correct and of high quality? Wikipedia is supposedly an "encyclopedia." I want good, current, high quality information from my encyclopedia. Who cares how the sausage is made?
