The last part of the great wall of text appears to persuade him to invest in
alternatives instead of buying Wikipedia. For him Wiki is like a sole
McDonald's in a food dessert, and that the solution is to open new
"restaurants".

Olga, thank you for your message, I think it's very important to know the
insight of this decision.
And at the time when I agree with your decision to not to take responsibility
for the risks that are (sadly still) exist for the photographers, I can not

I love this. The Nigeria data (23M views for *Search* pages, 5M for *main
pages*, 7M for the entire rest of the list!) is a reminder of how important
those are to readers + perhaps how high bounce rates are... Small

Dear Olga and WLM Ukraine - your work is impressive and your efforts to
bring visibility and point to issues with WLM in 2022 are also.
I can empathize with the feeling one gets when others are benevolent to

Last I heard, Wikipedia is not for sale, so not much point in persuading
someone to try to buy it. Also some real competition could be good for
Wikipedia, and for that matter, good for the Wikimedia Foundation. It would
