Reform Wikipedia (bring a little bit of Egypt to Wikipedia)
On the struggle against the oppression of unregistered editors, Aaron Swartz said:

This should be unified with the struggle against the censorship of wikipedia according to family values.

Jimbo Wales
Jimbo initial career included Bomis Premium, "offering customers access to premium, X-rated pornographic content," so he's bowing to pressure to a FOXnews campaing to purge "pornographic content" from wikipedia, single-handedly deleting images like caricatures by 19th century artist Félicien Rops!

{{quotation|This user does not condone the actions of the "benevolent dictator" Jimbo Wales regarding the deletion of material of sexual content, that go as far as deleting illustrations and artwork. Check out: Commons talk:Sexual content - Another abuse of power from Jimbo Wales, m:Requests for comment/Remove Founder flag and m:Petition to Jimbo. Unshopisticated people like Jimbo "benevolent dictator" Wales should learn from Paul Krassner: "appealing to the prurient interest IS a socially redeeming value." (Susie Bright Interviews Paul Krassner)

„[…] there was so much hardcore pornography on commons that there's still some left in nooks and crannies.“ Jimbo Wales May 8 13:08:31 UTC

 * Worldwide: bookdepository (the capitalist sharks at amazon just brough up the bookdepository! Wft, where is the anti-trust? They are actually eliminating the only real alternative, for books stocks and prices, for those who don't want to give money to amazon. They already have a 70%-strong market dominance (for books) in the uk only. The only hope is that the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), after outraged comments from the public, decides by August 30 to defer it to the Competition Commission)

One more reason to boycott: insane work conditions cause 15 people to collapse in a Pennsylvania Amazon warehouse. Inside Amazon’s Very Hot Warehouse (NYTimes, 19.09.2011) "End slavery at Amazon" (No, they aren't talking about the jungle)
