So that's what the paragraph in the i was about - it didn't mention paid

Knew about Antandrus, but not Raul's Laws.
Thanks.
From today's Guardian, " Wikipedia cracks down on 'paid advocacy editing

Hello everyone,
I've just encountered a Wikipedia essay from a user called Antandrus.

such lists is of course
