I am dead serious about this, if you are interested.
Terms:
1. You can specify how many featured articles /
good articles / whatever each page blanking
or deletion is worth, in your estimation. Please
provide a conversion ratio between featured
articles and good articles.
2. I can't edit Wikipaedia, but I can release them
under GFDL-compatible licences. My choice
will probably be 3-clause BSD. I expect my
licences to be respected, i.e. not deleted.
3. Since free licences have a tendency to be
non-revokable, I expect a guarantee that the
blankings / deletions will not be revoked, and
that measures will be taken to prevent them
from being publicly discussed on Wikipaedia,
*before* I release the material under a free
licence, but not necessarily before I write them.

Somewhere or another, we may even have touched on an encyclopedia for
more than three messages at a time.
You seem quite obsessed with the encyclopaedia.
So tell me, how many featured articles, good articles,
and/or other things would it cost to get a Wikipaedia-
namespace page deleted? How many to get one
blanked?
Assuming you even have enough influence to get
the things blanked/deleted without drawing more
attention to them, which you probably don't....
