This just in from [[Wikipedia:Reference desk/Miscellaneous#Class Action?]]:

    I was recently contacted by some law firm from Miami,
    Florida about some class-action lawsuit they were
    assembling that involved a bunch of former and current
    Wikipedia editors that are suing the Wikimedia Foundation
    for compensation for all the time they spent improving
    the site without pay.

I rather suspect it's bogus on a couple of different levels, but I thought I'd mention it here.

While it does sound like BS it isn't unthinkable that someone, somewhere is trying to get clients for a class-action suit against wikipedia for something. It sounded like Snowborader77 was pretty confused, maybe he misunderstood the lawyer.

It's probably nothing, but it isn't unthinkable that it is something. Just sayin'
