Might it make sense to provide an example (or a few multilingual examples)
as part of the existing GLAMwiki documentation? Or maybe there is already
one out there somewhere and I have missed it...
Particularly in light of the current discussions regarding paid editing (to
which I've contributed several efforts asking for a definition of "paid
editing" to which most seem uninterested), I think it's important to come
up with a definition among the GLAM community, recognizing that it might go
against the kind of black-and-white definitions that some want to propose
(e.g. "any editing done with any benefit is a COI" - which I think is
ridiculous).
One of the problems is that there are not enough examples. The situation
is so complex because there are so many variants - and I think it's
necessary to cover as many as we can.
