Another example of acceptable paid editing is the [[WP:REWARD|reward board]], where editors can post incentives, usually to raise articles to featured-article or good-article status. If you participate in this, transparency and neutrality are key.
== Miscellaneous ==
===Solicitations by paid editors===
In any solicitation sent to a prospective client, paid editors should disclose the following information:
* Paid editors do not represent the Wikimedia Foundation nor the Wikipedia editing community, and they have no authority beyond that of any volunteer editor.
* Paid editors must disclose their employer, client, and affiliations on Wikipedia. There is no confidentiality for the client.
* Paid edits may be reviewed and revised in the normal course of work on Wikipedia. Neither the client nor the paid editor own the article.
* Paid editors cannot guarantee any outcome for an article on Wikipedia. It can be revised or deleted by other editors at any time.
Providing a client with a link to this section is appropriate disclosure if it is done in a neutral and non-deceptive manner.
* Paid editors must also provide a link to their user page which includes a [[WP:PAID|declaration of their paid editing status]].
If you received a solicitation from a paid editor that does not include this information, we recommend that you not do business with them. They are not following our policies and guidelines. Some of these solicitations have been linked to fraud. See [[Orangemoody editing of Wikipedia]]. If you think you’ve received a fraudulent solicitation, please forward it to {{Nospam|arbcom-en|wikimedia.org}} for investigation.
=== Law of unintended consequences{{anchor|LUC}} ===
{{further|Wikipedia:Wikipedia is in the real world}}
{{shortcut|WP:LUC}}
Once an article is created about yourself, your group, or your company, [[Wikipedia:Ownership of articles|you have no right]] to control its content, or to delete it outside the [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|normal channels]]. Content is '''irrevocably added''' with every edit. If there is anything publicly available on a topic that you would ''not'' want to have included in an article, it will probably find its way there eventually.
=== No shared accounts, no company accounts ===
{{further|WP:NOSHARE|WP:ORGNAME}}
Do not create a shared organizational account, or use the name of an organization as the account name. The account is yours, not your employer's.
=== Making uncontroversial edits{{anchor|COIADVICE}} ===
{{Shortcut|WP:COIADVICE|WP:COIU}}
Editors who have a general conflict of interest may make unambiguously uncontroversial edits (but see [[WP:FINANCIALCOI]]). They may:
# remove [[Wikipedia:Spam|spam]] and unambiguous [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]],
# remove unambiguous violations of the [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|biography of living persons]] policy,
# fix spelling and grammatical errors,
# repair [[Wikipedia:Link rot|broken links]],
# remove their own COI edits, and
# add independent [[WP:Identifying reliable sources|reliable sources]] when another editor has requested them, although it is better to supply them on the talk page for others to add.
If another editor objects for any reason, it is not an uncontroversial edit. Edits not covered by the above should be discussed on the article's talk page. If an article has few uninvolved editors, ask at the talk page of a related [[WP:Wikiproject|Wikiproject]] or at [[WP:COIN|the COI noticeboard]]. Also see [[WP:COITALK]].
=== Supplying photographs and media files ===
Editors with a COI are encouraged to upload high-quality media files that are appropriately licensed for Wikipedia and that improve our coverage of a subject. For more information, follow the [[:commons:Commons:Welcome|instructions at Commons]]. In some cases, the addition of media files to an article may be an uncontroversial edit that editors with a COI can make directly, but editors should exercise discretion and rely on talk pages when images may be controversial or promotional. If the addition of an image is challenged by another editor, it is not uncontroversial.
