Which brings up the question "What is Wikipedia?". Is meta-content like User: space and Wikipedia: space actually part of Wikipedia?
A question I thought of after reading [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Angr this]. Is Wikipedia a free (libre) encyclopedia or a free (beer) encyclopedia that primarily uses a free (libre) license?
I've asked that question before and always got fobbed off. Some people seem to think that they can pursue "a free encyclopaedia" with no possible conflict between the freeness of the project and the quality of the project as an encyclopaedia.
