> Kohs: Wikipedia is often edited by people who have an agenda.

Oh, the irony... Greg Kohs offered Wikipedia editing services for paying customers, that's why he has been blocked. Not because he's a selfless freedom fighter who's being pushed down by the man.

Makes you wonder what Full Measure News' agenda is.

I assume (correct me if I'm wrong) its OK for a company to have an employee maintain their Wikipedia page (i.e. the employee is being paid).

What about a contractor? In other words, I'm wondering where the line is on paid editing being a bad thing.

It's not banned, but it's "strongly discouraged" and any such affiliation must be disclosed:
