Varda's first spacecra...

Re: WikiProject X
That's how they "manage projects".
-Announce it with press releases and rah-rah-rah from the editing addicts.
-Eventually the project fails. The failure is quietly covered up--unless it resulted in a massive on-wiki fight, then they CAN'T hide it.

Re: "Wikipedia data dump now on the Moon"
Remember: that is the lander that fell over at touchdown and is probably going to stop working shortly. No idea if this archive survived the flight, or the crash, or if it will survive a billion years or whatever.

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible
And now, for a small prophecy.
I predict that you will never see a mention of this story in the Sergey Brin article.
Because he is a co-founder of Google and Wikipedia sucks up to Google on an "unofficial yet pervasive" basis.
