There's a big tendency to gravitate toward a closed and proprietary approach too easily.

To create and distribute a free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language - That's who I am. That's what I am doing. That's my life goal.

I'm a big advocate of freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought.

If it isn't on Google, it doesn't exist.

People take issue with individual aspects of Wikipedia all the time. But it's kind of hard to hate the general idea of a free encyclopedia. It's like hating kittens.

Frankly, and let me be blunt, Wikipedia as a readable product is not for us. It's for them. It's for that girl in Africa who can save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around her, but only if she's empowered with the knowledge to do so.

Massive numbers of people are going to come online from cultures we don't normally interact with.
