I whould do it so;
- Put all the people in a mailman mailinglist.
- make it so that all posting must be approved by the list admin
So when you, or an other person send an message to all your customers (or whatever) it must be approved. You have an "un-send" option this way.
Also so you can make it impossible for the receivers of the message to reply to all ( if set the settings of the list correct offcource)
Alexa is used because of the lack of a alternative. The average user of Wikipedia or/. will not be using IE whit the Alexa spybar runing.
If google whould give stats from the users of the google bar that whould be a bit more usefull. That stil exclude Linux users and FireFox users. And there are many of those on/. and wikipedia
FYI, in Belgium, founding member of the EU, there is allready a ID-card for a long time. You are legally obligated to have it on your person when you are in public and older then 12 years.
It now a normal card but there is now the rollout of the electronic ID-card whit a chip. It will be used for e-goverment stuff, contain information about you medical insurance. And who know what else in the future.
So special is it not to have ID-card. If you have know whole your live it is only very strange to understand that there are "civilized" countries who do not have them.
The English language translation of Wikipedia is the largest, but there are a dozen or more equally active translations in other languages.
Please do not call the non-English Wikipedias translations. The are independent projects, the are other versions of Wikipedia and absolutely not translations of the English Wikipedia.
Basically you have no guarantee that the version of an article you look up is the same as the version that was cited. Version history is the solution to that.
There is a version history. From every article you can find and read all versions.
To be sure that the reader gets the same version that you where reading you can link to one of the old versions. Like http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Sect&ol did=3971813/ This way you know the reader will get the version of 04:46, 16 May 2004. You can not (yet) link whit a stable url to the most current version.
Realise that the English Wikipedia is not Wikipedia. It is one of many Wikipedias. There are about 50 now in very different stages of development. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_provisional_por tal_of_Wikipedia
The are all encyclopedias who are growing whit there own user community and local customs. The are al using the same format and ground rules but are in practice all independent projects. The are definitely not plain translations. Many users who know other langauges look for inspiration and information to other Wikipedias (and not only to EN). And some articles are in some languages direct translations of other versions. But that is a temporary situation because of the editing process the grow appart again.

This sounds very strange to me. Wikipedia does not need any advertisement. The number of vistors are already exploding whitout them.
See;

It would also be waste of money that people have give and a breach of trust. The money goes to harware, not to ads. If there are ads for Wikipedia then Wikipedia has nothing to do whit them.
