User:Novem Linguae/Essays/Advanced permission holders connected to UPE
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
List of advanced permission holders (AFC reviewer, new page reviewer, autopatrolled, admin) connected to undisclosed paid editing (UPE). Specifically, being paid to introduce spam to Wikipedia.
Trying to get an idea of how big a problem this is and how many cases a year we have. Perhaps we can also spot some patterns that will help us at WP:PERM/NPP and WP:PERM/AP.
Anyone may add folks to this page, as long as there is evidence they were blocked for UPE.
