This may be a matter of judgment and who the
target audience is, but in
my experience #1 and #2 aren't really things people don't know about
Wikipedia. People get lots of things wrong about us, but that Wikipedia
is a free-content encyclopedia run by a non-profit organization is
usually gotten right.
I've seen rather a lot of "will google buy wikipedia?" blogs and forum
threads.
Not to mention that "free content", to most people, means exactly
that: "free content." That is: "Hey, I can download it for free from
the Interweb." I have seen very few articles about Wikipedia which
get the licensing part right. That said, that's one of those things
you have to hammer into a person's head about 10 times before they
understand it.
Maybe I need to create [[WP:100T]] which repeats {{:WP:10T}} 10 times ...
