== Need for clarification on paid editors making "non-text" changes to articles ==

At [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#HuffPost_article_on_WP_COI_editing]] a paid editor is telling me that [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Caryn_Marooney&diff=888394401&oldid=888394131 this edit] is OK, because ''"As to adding citations, which is not part of the HuffPo article, you probably don't deal with the "Request Edit" queue (which is where most COI requests go) on a frequent basis, and I do. The editors who respond there have repeatedly instructed me over the years not to bother them with very small, uncontroversial edits, such as the addition of supporting citations. They get mad when I make such requests and tell me to do the work myself. I have to respect the wishes of the very, very small number of volunteers who actually do the Request Edit work on a day-to-day basis. To the extent their wishes and policies evolve, I will change what I do."'' To me this policy doesn't seem unclear -- especially by Wikipedia policy standards -- nonetheless it appears that it is getting redefined unless we do something. Can we get consensus that this policy is unequivocal in "very strongly discouraging" paid/COI edits to articles of ''any'' kind -- anything that shows up as an edit in the history, regardless of what it is? Otherwise, please enlighten us on whether it is OK for paid editors, on their own, to:

:# Add citations to a statement, with a request that someone else change the text to match (the case above)
:# ''Remove'' citations from a statement, claiming they are unnecessary/biased/fringe/etc. (after all it's the same thing only backwards)
:# Add external links to company sites and press releases (just another kind of link, really)
:# Add infoboxes and navboxes to help readers move among their family of products and company divisions (not the text per se, after all)

"Opening a COIN"

I have concerns about this edit: [1], and specifically, about the phrase "Opening a COIN". I understand, of course, that this is referring to opening a discussion at WP:COIN. But the phrase, when worded that way, sounds like opening a coin. As such, it seems to me to be needlessly awkward and jargony. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:50, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I made the original edit that changed the heading from the "Posting at WP:COIN" to "Posting at the conflict of interest noticeboard". I agree the current heading is unfriendly to newcomers as unnecessary jargon, and also due to its use of an abbreviation before its definition. Consider, in particular, someone looking through the table of contents: it would be easier for them to find a section on posting to the conflict of interest noticeboard with a more descriptive heading. isaacl (talk) 19:07, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is widely known as "opening a COIN", and that section isn't for newcomers. It's for more experienced editors wondering how to handle suspected COI. It also isn't about posting to COIN but opening one. SarahSV (talk) 19:11, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Isaac, it wasn't you who made the original change; it was Tryptofish. [2] SarahSV (talk) 19:16, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Everyone has to learn for the first time how to raise an issue at the conflict of interest noticeboard, or in fact that one exists, and it is best practice to define an abbreviation before using it. Since the purpose of posting at the conflict of interest noticeboard is to start a discussion about a given conflict of interest situation, "opening a COIN" is just a jargony way of saying "starting a discussion at the conflict-of-interest noticeboard", so how about using that as a heading? isaacl (talk) 19:22, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's unnecessary, but okay. It should be "opening a discussion" etc. SarahSV (talk) 19:40, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I was waiting for Tryptofish and anyone else to weigh in before making any changes, but okay, we'll see what further comments arise. isaacl (talk) 22:25, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
