There are a number of well-timed counter-movements in the wake of the Bell Pottinger flap, where consortia of PR industry leaders are going to try to "reach out" to Wikipedia and gain consensus on how PR firms can dutifully and ethically interact with Wikipedia.

I have a feeling that in about 6 months there will be a lot of heartbroken, grieved people in the PR industry.

Okay, that's it, i'm going to go start "another" Wikiproject. How about Wikiproject Cooperation?

Or...Wikiproject Cooperation and Education?

It'll be used to work with companies and users being paid by companies, to help them understand how Wikipedia works and what the rules are that they must follow. How they have a COI and must tread lightly and it would be far better for them to suggest changes on the talk pages rather than make the changes themselves.

Also, that it would be good for them to make drafts of their wanted changes and submit them for review by other users, who can check them for issues and then insert them into the articles.
