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 also be very interesting to see how a real challenge to English Wikipedia would be organized. All the previous attempts have failed, often quite dismally. If it were to work better, many of us would probably join it, if it turns out to be a thing one could join. Many of us are loyal to the concept of free knowledge, not so much to the platform it is presented on. Cheers, Peter
