[Wikipedia-l] Propects for future growth

[Poor, Edmund W]

My church tried to create a "Unification Encyclopedia" several years ago. It was edited by Andrew Wilson, and was sponsored by one of the many non-profit organizations members of my church have set up (possibly the International Cultural Foundation).

I wonder if it's even worth discussing the possibility of Wikipedia seeking sponsorship from the Unification movement. Of course, editorial independence would have to be guaranteed (no church slant allowed to creep in). I'm talking about a "no strings attached" kind of grant, maybe.

I know people with money -- the question is whether this Wikipedia community could stomach an associaton with "those Moonies".

This is why we need to set up the non-profit.
