Wikipedia. I'd pay a pretty penny for that.



Who said I don't regularly donate?


No one, it's just a fairly safe assumption.


You're right. I should have phrased my original comment differently.


That's one that didn't immediately come to mind for me. I gotta admit, I almost certainly would pay for that (although it's almost completely hypothetical since paying for it goes completely against the entire philosophy of the service, and if it had always been a pay service, it wouldn't be as extensive).


If you did have to pay (I realize this is hypothetical), what if they charged per article you read and you got a free read when you contributed? Or part of a free article when you edited. Would that help to keep it extensive?


It would increase the noise. People would make nonsense edits just to be able to read articles.
