That sounds like the opposite of what we want. Considering that it's
so hard to identify sneaky editors, those that come forth and declare
their POV ought to be encouraged. Also, contrary to some ideas
expressed in this thread, we do not discourage companies from editing
articles about themselves - we just want to supervise the process, and
steer it where necessary.
