I couldn’t do this work without Wikipedia. If the government or some university take it over, it will cease in some measure to be free. Look what happened to CNN when Ted Turner was forced to sell it. For those of us who love truth and information, almost nothing could be more important than keeping this powerful tool out of the hands of special interests. Donate to Wikipedia today.
