I just tried googling Wikipedia and am not seeing that result at all. I see " *Wikipedia* is a free online encyclopedia, created and edited by volunteers around the world and hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation."
When I do the same search on mobile, I see the same thing, except this time it is accompanied by the Dutch version, which I personally find very cute, and very Dutch. Consider it the "Eeyore version of explaining free knowlege".

If we want to do fact checking, which we do whether Congress has decided publishers are responsible for the content of their publications or not, the way to automate it is shown at https://priyankamandikal.github.io/posts/gsoc-2016-project-overview/

I'd just stick to "The Free Encyclopedia". It's a thing we can really
agree
upon. (We can, right? Please tell me we can.)
But I am curious - who made this ad?

I just googled “wikipedia” and the first result was a Google ad
linking
to
wikipedia.org.[1] It calls Wikipedia the fact-checked encyclopedia. We
used
to call it the encyclopedia anyone can edit. The latter seems more
honest
than this new formulation which to me implies a degree of reliability
and
oversight I'm not sure we can ethically assert. I missed the
discussion
about this new self-description. Did it happen on meta? Is anyone else uncomfortabe with this? -- Anthony Cole _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
