Phoebe, does this sound familiar? "We want you to imagine a world in which
every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That
is our commitment". "We're in it for the long haul". (From: "Ten things you
may not know about Wikipedia")

Should this read, "...the sum of all knowledge (except any controversial
content that may upset some people."

Are you concerned about the Project's image or its content?

All knowledge - or none.
