“We are a passionate community of volunteers who are trying to create a free encyclopedia for every single person on the planet.”

—  Jimmy Wales

Wikimania 2008 Alexandria, press conference, 0'20 (August 2008), asked about Google Knol
Context: We are a passionate community of volunteers who are trying to create a free encyclopedia for every single person on the planet. So we don't often think in terms of competition. We are going to do what we do and we hope Google does wonderful things as well. … If we were approaching this as a business we would think always: Oh, how can we position ourselves on the market... We just don't do any of that stuff.
