I suspect they'll have better luck deterring this nonsense if they actively shame the companies who pay for/execute the biased bullshit.

They'll never win the cat-and-mouse if they just ban accounts.

So I'll just hire them to edit your company article for better, then get you caught for this.
You'll be the one to get shamed.

That's a tricky problem... You could hire a PR firm to "improve" YOUR COMPETITOR'S Wikipedia article. Then when the promotional editing is exposed, your competitor would be shamed for something they didn't do.
