• 02:5302:53, 24 February 2014 diff hist +1,754‎ Talk:Terms of use/Paid contributions amendment ‎ →‎What's important: the example of the rationalization that is often seen, but rarely actually true. <grin> most people with inherent COI like this, are incapable of truly neutral edits. Definitely disclose; the exact name of your employer, optional
• 02:4002:40, 24 February 2014 diff hist +1,508‎ Talk:Terms of use/Paid contributions amendment ‎ →‎Discussion of examples (1a): in the case of dictatorship using coercion to push their POV, it is clear that the TOU will not help. Still, this is an important point: it delimits what the TOU-amendment *is* actually going to help with.
• 02:2802:28, 24 February 2014 diff hist +1,656‎ Talk:Terms of use/Paid contributions amendment ‎ →‎competition: is there a way to make sure the language does not allow paid contributors to weasel out of the terms of service?

Clarifying the language of option#3 will let Llyrwch contrib even under NDA. Plus, options#1 & #2 need talkpage-disambig

• 12:5512:55, 25 January 2014 diff hist +3,204‎ Wikimedia Forum ‎ →‎Individualized Wikipedia: naah, this isn't GNE. this is a hybrid, where centralized wikipedia still exists, and is still dominant, but for speed/convenience of editing wikipedia, folks have local mediaWiki installs. rest is *gravy*
