That's actually sad. I have not used wikipedia in a while .... But I'm sure the AI models I used are using it.

It should be part of free speech protection.... I completely agree.

I've definitely used it a lot less than in previous years too. It was a cornerstone of so much of my reading from 2008-2016 

I wish I could honestly say that this news would spur action to save it. It's more hope than expectation
