I’m not a Wikipedia editor/contributor (I’m not knowledgeable enough for the most part), but if I were one, and I didn’t want my work to be sold to train AI so Wikimedia Foundation can make even more money off of it (they actually started selling it to Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Mistral, and Perplexity LAST YEAR without telling us! Surprise!), this may be a good time for me to WITHHOLD FURTHER LABOR and stop contributing to Wikipedia until they reverse this decision.
