Wikipedia blocks accounts linked to paid edits

No to paid submissions: Wikipedia is powered mostly by volunteers and bars paid advocacy that is not disclosed.

SAN FRANCISCO: Wikipedia said that it has blocked more than 300 accounts being used by people being paid to create or tweak entries at the communally sourced online encyclopaedia. 

Weeks of investigation revealed 381 accounts being used at the English version of Wikipedia for “black hat” editing in which people took money to promote outside interests without disclosing they were on someone’s payroll, according to a blog post.
