Thank you for regurgitating the Wikimedia Foundation's public relations pitch sheet. Now, if you're interested in some actual journalism, find out why the Wikimedia Foundation earns only one star (out of 4) in organizational efficiency, as rated by Charity Navigator.

Given the track record of "Wikipedia activists" in Israel, one has to wonder what particular version of certain articles will appear on those offline versions.

Followed by a couple of Wikipediots having a group-hate on me, in the absence of the original comment. Is one of those 'pediots the same Charlie Dorsett, Senior Technical Writer at Informatica?
