@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com @rra@post.lurk.org I'm buying the book to find out. Given I haven't heard any such rumblings while editing recently, I'm guessing this went down around or before 2007, the peak of Wikipedia's active editor counts.

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com @rra@post.lurk.org Looks like the Encyclopedia Libre Universal fork occurred back in 2002, with Wales's desire to create a for-profit encyclopedia being satisfied by his establishment of Wikicities (later renamed Wikia, then Fandom) in 2004. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enciclopedia_Libre_Universal_en_Espa%C3%B1ol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fandom_(website)

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com They want to eliminate everything they cannot own & control. Musk et al. made some noise about Wiki before/around the US election and now it's intensifying. Any outlet that does not comply with the oligarchy's version of reality is under threat. 🤷 (If you're asking about the "historical detail", OP is referring to the Spanish labour strike, not the tech oligarchs' ambitions.)
