There's a little of that which goes on currently (I mean above-board,
not counting anything that may happen unofficially). The most common
case is that a cultural organization, such as a museum, provides funds
for a "Wikipedian in residence" who is brought in to do a mixture of
training other people, and paying special attention to articles in a
particular area of interest.
I imagine this avoids trouble in most cases mainly because the goals are
aligned: if we believe the cultural organization is, like us, only
aiming at high-quality, accurate, NPOV coverage of their subject area,
rather than any kind of self-aggrandizement or POV-pushing, then we have
much in common.

Yes, but it might be nice if we could let people pay trusted editors to
improve articles (without a COI and with a NPOV) that normally wouldn't get
attention.

Because we've decided that [[WP:Ownership of articles]] is wrong, and
wronger if there's financial sponsorship involved.

Hi,
I've just seen an OTRS ticket asking why isn't Wikipedia giving its
pages for "adoption" (like when you adopt a page and your name ends up
on its cage or something like that). I've moved the ticket to the
donations queue, but I was wondering if this has ever been
discussed/considered before.
Thanks,
Strainu
