Yes, but journalists do push the story when it's not warranted (saying nice things about CZ along the lines of "more good freely reusable content is a win for everyone" confuses them nicely) and it doesn't make CZ look classy. It's not true to say that all or even most spend their time bitching about Wikipedia ... it is true to say that it doesn't make them look good. But hey, they don't need me as a volunteer image consultant. OTOH, it does get cheap press quickly. c.f.

"Good luck with that." And remember that "A Group Is Its Own Worst Enemy" cited Wikipedia as a group that had avoided this fate at the time of the essay (2003) - since then it appears to have hit its head on every step on the way down. >> (And by the way, well done on keeping the hell away from the GFDL, >> broken piece of shit that it is.) > Hear, hear. With others tending to CC-by-sa, a license move would be Wikipedia catching up. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
