Wikipedia editors have unwritten expectations of the higher law that paid editors must follow. Rachel Helps, herself a paid editor bearing the scarlet "COI" badge, seeks as part of her penitence to codify these rules.
Three things doth the Wikipedia editor hate, and four are detestable unto him: a paid position, a careful tongue, a heart that believes in God, and secondary sources from religious adherents. Never act in boldness, but be completely humble and meek, submitting to all things which thy fellow editors deem worthy for you.
Declare COI continuously without ceasing: Do not declare your COI only in the secrecy of your user page, but also in templates on talk pages, multiplying their vain repetitions lest they fall on deaf ears. Thou shalt declare thy conflict of interest constantly, never ceasing, on your user pages, your edit summaries, and when ye are in your fields, yea, over all your flocks of talk pages.
Sound the trump of all external relationships: Unpaid editors may edit according to their unspoken conflicts of interest, that thy people seeth in public. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. Of you it is required to sound a trumpet of thy external relationships before all of thy editing, that the editorship may see your editing works and judge them against this higher law of editing.
Thou shalt not cite primary sources, theses, or dissertations: The unpaid editor may use primary sources, self-published sources, and theses and dissertations with knowledge of the rules pertaining to those. Howbeit that there is not in every man that knowledge, if any man see thee which has knowledge cite the primary source, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to cite these things which are offered as sources improperly? And through thy knowledge shall the weak editor perish? Wherefore cite no primary sources while the world standeth, lest you make your brother to offend.
Rule of One Revert: You have heard that an editor may not revert the same edit more than three times in a 24-hour period, but of you it is required to revert no more than once.
Submit to Articles for Creation: Of unpaid editors it is permitted to create articles directly in the article namespace, but of you it is required to submit new articles to Articles for Creation. The mind of the paid editor is an enemy to Wikipedia; submit yourselves therefore to other editors in fear of their judgement.
Neglect not the opposing viewpoint: You have heard it said, one editor adds their cherry, while another editor adds theirs. This is justice for the unpaid editor. Their laws are not your laws. I say unto you, the paid editor may not cherry pick their sources. She must cite the anti-Mormon and the apologist, the Vogel and the Welch, the arguments in good faith and bad. All things must needs be in order, and the citing shall not contradict any other commandment, neither the citing of primary sources nor the citing of dissertations and theses.
Bear your own burdens: If thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. These one or two more must not be of thy faith, neither can they be of thy profession, lest you be accused of bearing false witness against thy neighbor in solidarity with thy kinsmen. Bear your own burden, never creating bonds with other editors, which bonds sully the purity of their judgement against thee.
