Microsoft's offer to pay for Wikipedia edits may not be the big scandal many news organizations are hoping for. This opinion comes straight from Rick Jelliffe, the O'Reilly author and blogger who was offered money for changing Microsoft Wikipedia entries. In an email interview, Jeliffe told TG Daily that he believes the edits are normal and that paid edits could be the wave of the future.
