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".

upon. (We can, right? Please tell me we can.)
But I am curious - who made this ad?
