of a paid volunteer. Could you possibly try rephrasing it so that I'm more
clear?

Hoi,
I can understand the sentiment and, it makes some sense. However, I do not
like weasel words ... "paid employees".. Bah
They are not volunteering. They are on a job, have a mission. I think that
employees of any organisations may work for the benefit of bringing the sum

Hi,
In 2007, there was some significant conflict on the French Wkipedia,
