Very much a WIP. Alerts you when it thinks someone has been paid to contribute to the Wikipedia page you are viewing.
This Firefox extension uses the page-mod API to inject itself into all Wikipedia article pages. As per the recently-proposed Terms of use/Paid contribution amendment, it then uses the page-worker API to download the talk page and edit history page for the article, as well as the user pages of the 5 most active editors. It uses regexes to scan the content of these pages for phrases that may indicate the editor was paid to contribute to the article. When it finds a matching phrase or word, it adds its context to a panel overlay so that the user can review the edit summary or relevant talk/user page section and decide for his or herself if the phrase in question represents a conflict of interest.
Here is a list of currently matched phrases that will cause an edit summary or user or talk page snippet to be added to the results panel (this is a default list, and really ought to be editable via UI):
| Regex | Matched Pattern |
|---|---|
| pa(y|ying|id|yment) | pay/paying/paid/payment |
| compensat(e|ed|ion|ing) | compensate/compensated/compensation/compensating |
| hire(d|s|ing)? | hire/hired/hires/hiring |
| disclos(e|ed|ure|ing) | disclose/disclosed/disclosure/disclosing |
| contribut(e|ed|ion|ing) | contribute/contibuted/contribution/contributing |
| affiliat(e|ed|ion) | affiliate/affiliated/affiliation |
| client(ele)? | client/clientele |
| employ(ee|er|ed|ing)? | employ/employee/employer/employed/employing |
| work(s|ed|ing)? | work/works/worked/working |
