Not so sure. If all encyclopaedias stopped being paper

free, it could seriously bite into the number of people donating to

time looking at these encyclopaedias for information, than Wikipedia.

donations? Mission accomplished!
But they don't. Thus my prior post.
So how do we emphasize qualities W,X,Y of Wikipedia when the public
still thinks of it mostly in terms of Z?
