https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Buying_Wikipedia


Q: Why are you selling Wikipedia?

A: Someone told us that we're mean bullies for deleting their talk page. That hurt our feelings, so we're passing on the problem to someone else.


Q: Who can buy it?

A: Anyone! Whether you're an insanely wealthy stock broker with $89,573,683,584,007,583.93 spare cash on hand or a lowly peasant with $89,573,683,584,007,583.93 spare cash on hand, we won't discriminate.


Q: What can I do once I own it?

A: Anything you want, even deleting the main page.


Q: Won't this sale rob the project of its credibility, its main asset, effectively rendering it worthless?

A: Don't worry about that


Q: Can I buy the Wikimedia Foundation, too?

A: Well... let me ask them first.


Q: Why is it so expensive?

A: Internet taxes, we think.


Q: What are you going to do with the money?

A: Very important business and philanthropic stuff, and also buy Jimmy Wales an ivory backscratcher.


The foundation wrote back, they said you can buy them for 10.29182 to the power of 10 dollars.


Q: Are the contributors included?

A: No.

Silly DU wouldn't let me use an exponent in the title line.

The case pitted Schlafly’s youngest daughter against three of her sons, almost like a Midwest version of the HBO program “Succession” (without the obscenities).

At the heart of the dispute — and the lead defendant in the case — was Ed Martin, a lawyer by training and a political operative by trade. In Missouri, where he was based, Martin was widely known as an irrepressible gadfly who trafficked in incendiary claims and trailed controversy wherever he went. Today, he’s the interim U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., and one of the most prominent members of the Trump Justice Department ...
