Wikipedia Solicitations - Part 2

We have previously posted about solicitations from Wikipedia "editors" to write a nice page for you.* Such solicitations inevitably involve paying for the service. They may be outright scams. Or they may involve claims that seem to suggest that whatever they write is what will appear on Wikipedia.

If you get a solicitation such as the one reproduced at the bottom of this post, the best advice is not to respond and delete the message.

You can also report them: paid-en-wp@wikipedia.org

It's worth also repeating that Wikipedia is OK as a source for non-controversial information. Controversial political topics are another matter. Note also that if you ask an AI source about a controversial issue, it is likely to reproduce Wikipedia interpretations as if they are facts. Caution advised.
