And so that's a big part of why we've chosen the free licensing model, because that empowers local entrepreneurs or anyone who wants to -- they can take our content and do anything they like with it -- you can copy it, redistribute it -- and you can do it commercially or non-commercially.

So the truth in general is that the kinds of controversies that you would probably think we have within the Wikipedia community are not really controversies at all.

The real struggle is not between the right and the left -- that's where most people assume -- but it's between the party of the thoughtful And no side of the political spectrum has a monopoly on either of those qualities.

The actual truth about the specific Bush-Kerry incident is that the Bush-Kerry articles were locked less than one percent of the time in 2004, and it wasn't because they were contentious; it was just because there was routine vandalism -- which happens sometimes even on stage ...

But we have this jargon term of neutrality, which has its own long history within the community, which basically says, any time there's a controversial issue, Wikipedia itself should not take a stand on the issue.

So this neutrality policy is really important for us because it empowers a community that is very diverse to come together and actually get some work done.

By having this firm neutrality policy, which is non-negotiable from the beginning, we ensure that people can work together and that the entries don't become simply a war back and forth between the left and the right.
