::::So, what is the progress in this matter? Just now I added [[T4-Wiki]] a wiki of 2006 that is indeed using wF (of 119). It is using MW version 1.25.1, higher than ours. So, that should not pose a problem really. --[[User talk:Manorainjan|'''<span style="color: orange;">Manorainjan</span>''']] 04:45, 5 December 2017 (PST) | ::::So, what is the progress in this matter?

Hi Justin, you are obviously highly knowledgable regarding Wikipedia, so I hope you don't mind if I ask you a <cough> 'interesting' question. On the Alexa site for [https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/wikipedia.org Wikipedia.org], near the bottom of the page, it lists "Other Sites Owned". Numbers 1, 3, and 5 are explanatory, but 2 and 4 have . . . erm . . . raised my eyebrows! Number 2 (at time I viewed Alexa) was <nowiki>nekkid.info</nowiki> (<u>warning</u>: NOT suitable for work/school/minors etc) is a XXX p0rn site, and number 4 was <nowiki>searchbastard.com</nowiki> (now goes to a parking domain site). | |||
So . . . is Alexa correct? Does Wikipedia actually own those two? If they do, I am guessing (though not defaming) Jimbo was the original owner. Does Wikipedia and / or the WMF have any need, or justification for owning those? My only guess is the potential revenue stream from number 2 - which might be a valid commercial reason, but is it ethical? | |||
Do you fancy asking some questions in the appropriate places? Understand if not, though. Best.
