National Security Letters have been served on Libraries. However, as we
keep no track whatever off who is reading the site; it is hard to see how
serving one on us would accomplish anything; we can't produce records we
don't keep. I suppose a secret court order could be applied for which
would require us to log readers and searchers, but that would be kind of
dumb and unproductive.

Yes, and I as I pointed to the email written by Domas, that those logs
don't exist.
We know that people's Google searches have been used against them in
court. I'm not aware of any cases where Wikipedia searches have been
used. But I can't imagine why they'd be any different.
Because one is a search engine and the other is an encyclopedia. If
someone
was researching ways to make explosives or looking for child pornography,
those are grounds to incriminate. Wikipedia on the other hand is an
encyclopedia. There is nothing illegal about going in to a library and
looking at a physical encyclopedia, nor should there be about Wikipedia.
