Won't happen.....it's a not-for-profit foundation.
And besides: Jimmy Wales has clearly stated that he doesn't want to sell it - hell he even doesn't want to allow advertisements on the website.

**Casa Nova** · 11-01-2007, 08:37 AM

wow, You had me with my jaw dropped. It will definitely sell for big money.

**Zebra** · 11-01-2007, 08:40 AM

Wonder how many encyclopedia companies are hating Wikipedia lately? Gotta be putting a hurt on their sales like online news did to newspapers.

**czarina** · 11-01-2007, 08:41 AM

it is worth about 100 million or so. Hopefully they'll never sell, though

**Sosa** · 11-01-2007, 08:42 AM

never say never

So true.

Wikipedia is going to be the next proof of the DMOZ theory: Real humans do it better, until they bend each other over and fuck each other for the last $3 they can get their hands on.

**V_RocKs** · 11-01-2007, 08:51 AM

Wikipedia is your friend.

You got that right about DMOZ.

**ADL Colin** · 11-01-2007, 09:52 AM

What's the difference between google and wikipedia? ;-)

**larrymax** · 11-01-2007, 09:59 AM

I have been wondering the same thing. It is not fucked up yet...but give it time.

Aww. The days of the good Dmoz. I remember that.

I love wikipedia and hope it always remain ads free and never be sold.

PS. btw, my estimated price is 10 billion, keeping facebook price in mind.

**Drake** · 11-01-2007, 11:06 AM

Seriously, is he doing alright though? Wasn't he asking for donations to keep the site alive some time ago? I see donation ads up now on wiki. It's such a great resource.

**Snake Doctor** · 11-01-2007, 11:07 AM

congrats to all the winners

I wonder why. Unless he is already insanely rich it just seems stupid to work on something so much and build it up to what it is and not make any money off it.

**Big_Red** · 11-01-2007, 11:14 AM

Google will own the internet. Just not Wiki.

**tranza** · 11-01-2007, 11:33 AM

900 Million would be just too cheap if you ask me..

**pornask** · 11-01-2007, 11:33 AM

Fuck google. I hate how pushy they are and it would really hurt internet if they bought it. Fuck google...

**sumphatpimp** · 11-01-2007, 11:35 AM

so how much do you want for the recipe for whatever it is you are shoving up you nose that makes you believe wiki is worth that.
I could do big things with that recipe.

wikipedia sold to google for 900 million!
