@nytimes: Richard Cooke’s book, “The Last Best Place on the Internet” retells the history of Wikipedia with an emphasis on the human, with all the tragedy and comedy that entails. Jennifer Szalai, a New York Times book critic, reviews the book. Video by Jennifer Szalai, Karen Hanley, Laura Salaberry and Gabriel Blanco/The New York Times.
the internet started out as a library and is now a store. Wikipedia is one of the few places left after the online commons was destroyed by capitalists.

The moment Wikipedia goes under, will be the day the internet can be declared dead.

I donate monthly to Wikipedia and think anyone who is able to should do the same. It's such an important thing, it's almost sacred.

Wikipedia volunteers have always run the site like it’s the navy too. I remember making silly edits back in the 2000s and racing to get a screenshot before it was removed!

I’ve always says Wikipedia is one of the best sources for information because there’s so many people verifying it and so many nerds just looking for something to call wrong lol

Still wondering :
I regularly support Wikipedia monetarily because I value it so much. I’ve also edited once or twice.

I’m a Ukrainian linguist currently looking for a job. I know this is completely random, but I thought I’d take a chance and ask: do you happen to have any vacancies suitable for a linguist? Thank you!
