It might be worth considering calling Wikipedia satire just to avoid legal problems. A lot of people call it worse things already, none of which gives WP legal advantages.
OMG. ROFL. I thought I had clicked on one of Jimbo's comments when I read this.
Given a context of an exaggerated paranoia of legal threats to WP, its eerily hard to disagree with this statement Dabljuh. However most of us dont have such fears, and believe either 1) the goodness of mankind to promote free information or 2) the craftiness of upstart technologists to figure out how to eventually make Wikipedia decentralized and therefore unattackable.
But putting fear and futurism aside, what would be the point of calling ourselves "satirists" if that would only defeat our opinion of ourselves as "encyclopedists."
