Hoi, When you consider how marketing works, we can have a clothing line that shows off the intellectual qualities of the wearer.. it is something that would nicely offset the more foolish brands of clothing where it is the so manieth pop star film star of whatever person who went in to this line of business.
Really, we could make serious money if we take this serious. We could even have a reserved range of clothing for people with more then a certain amount of edits ... hmmm I may want a 10k WMF edits premium leather jacket ... :)
Thanks, GerardM

Dunno if they'd be open to variations on the catchphrase :-)
Personally I'd just like to have a Wikipedia tshirt that I'd be comfortable wearing around non-geeks.
Even a plain puzzle globe T-shirt marks you as some sort of nerd who thinks reading and writing encyclopedias is *fun*.
