 * From their shared Wikitravel:User:IBlegal account, will Internet Brands' paid editors be able to make legal threats against editors for edits made to Wikipedia articles such as Hellman & Friedman and Internet Brands? -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 11:34, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Not directly, Wikipedia being shielded by anonymity and all. But remember that to them this smells like a hostile takeover. Res Mar 15:24, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * And I can understand why they feel that way. While I would support a travel sister project, I am rather uncomfortable about this whole situation. It feels like we're bullying another company to either join us or we'll just create our own site and put you out of business. That's...kinda wrong. In a number of ways.

 * Wikivoyage has asked to join us. The fact that a number of editors from Wikitravel is joining Wikivoyage right now as they have had issues with IB is an issue for IB. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 21:09, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
