Nobody should buy Wikipedia.
If the future of open knowledge is important to you, don't wait for billionaires to help. Open your PayPal account and donate to the Wikimedia Foundation. I donate at least a cup of coffee a month.

My 4-year-old once asked me for the opposite of "wearing a hat". We debated the question but could not decide between:

* Putting on an anti-hat
