Eight myths about Wikipedia - robkelk - 01-18-2016

Some trivial, some disturbing...

The Register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/01/18 ... dia_myths/]It's Wikipedia mythbuster time: 8 of the best on your 15th birthday

One of the trivial ones: Of the nearly 300 languages that Wikipedia supports, 65 have no content contributors.

One of the non-trivial ones: Wikipedia has more paid employees doing fundraising now than they had employees in total ten years ago ... and Wikipedia still doesn't pay the actual content contributors anything.

"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

- Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012
