The Wikipedia English section discusses the permissibility of writing articles for money

Arguments for:

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

Arguments against:

1. Articles written for money will have big problems matching a neutral point of view - one of the main rules for writing articles
2. Companies with a solid budget will be able to seriously influence the contents of Wikipedia by writing custom articles

During the discussion, proposals were made without prohibiting the editing of Wikipedia for money, require authors to disclose the fact of material interest in writing articles, and even mark with a special template articles that are edited for money.
