No one wants to see Wikipedia overrun by promotional paid editing, much less concealed paid editing. However, combating it should not come at the expense of abandoning our longstanding and widely supported policy that editors may choose how much of their personal identifying information they wish to disclose.

*We are referring to this as a "proposal," but it does not propose anything. It is too vaguely worded to be of much value, except to reassure paid editors that their privacy is to be protected while they make money ripping off Wikipedia.
