Britannica Takes Over the Wikimedia Foundation

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the unexpected-turn-of-events dept.

Wikipedia administrators, members of the Wikimedia Board of Trustees, Arbitration Committee members and several other cabalists will receive free access. However, their adminship powers will be stripped permanently."
