Well they do use some of our articles although they highlight them as
unreliable. The rest of their material meets our reliable source
guideline.

They are also a useful measure in a number of respects. Obviously
there is the direct one of "this is what you can do if you just throw
money at the encyclopedia problem" (something to be kept in mind when
the foundation tries to justify its budget). But its also a standard
of what we need to be more innovative than (the reason I want a video
of every single animal is that they want a pic of every single
animal).
