Just a bit of silliness ... but the results are in:
Jimmy Wales: 234,000 Wikipedia Review: 5,810,000
See: Google Fight results.
So how come he is getting paid $75,000 a night and we are still having to pay for the privilege to edit ourselves?
Jeez ... for $75,000 a night I'd be paying folks to edit on my behalf.
(OK ... OK ... Jimmy Wales versus wikipediareview.com is kind of pitifully reversed.)
Full Version: Google Fight Jimmy vs The Review
That's kind of bogus; I checked out what Google actually returns for "wikipedia review", and while some of the things on the first page are actually about WR (the first result is WR itself, the second is the Wikipedia article on WR, and soon afterward comes the Encyclopedia Dramatica article on it), but there are also things like "The Charms of Wikipedia | The New York Review of Books", and as you get into succeeding pages, such things where "Wikipedia" and "review" just happen to occur close together without referring to this site eventually dominate.

Nobody said it was a fair fight. After all, Jimbo beats Greg every time on Google Fight. I think he has a ringer.

Using quotes, which should greatly reduce this problem, "jimmy wales" gets 434,000 hits. "jimbo wales" gets 101,000 (though doubtless some duplicate "jimmy wales"). "wikipedia review" gets 24,100 and "wikipediareview" gets 14,300.

That's okay. I beat Jimbo every time on Wikipedia Review, so it all evens out.
