I realize this is merely a minor aspect and might trigger a tedious 
debate, but "Free Wikipedia" is far from ideal. Wikipedia's tagline is 
"the free encyclopedia", where "free" clearly points to libre, not 
gratis carrier coverage. By using "free" in a similar context, but 
entirely different meaning, we undermine this important distinction and 
create more confusion.
