Here is a typical spam email related to “getting published on Wikipedia.” These emails often arrive after someone submits a Wikipedia draft about a well-known person who appears to merit a Wikipedia article. The draft is usually rejected by Wikipedia administrators, but the very next day, the submitter receives an email like this from someone offering to help get the article published. Th spammer admits - he has a moderator-level account.
