- Banned in China: The site is banned in places like China for refusing to edit, censor, and block content that governments and other powerful entities disagree with. It also gets hit with occasional bannings in places like Pakistan and Turkey, with Turkey's ban being lifted after a legal battle and victory in the country's supreme court.
- Doing It for the Art: The site is a non-profit and reliant on community contributions and donations to stay operational. It doesn't maintain a paywall, run ads, or mine user data for income. Jimmy Wales even made sure to cut financial ties with the organization — not taking a salary and paying his own way when he needs to participate in meetings and events — to make clear that Wikipedia is independent and that his only goal is for it to continue to share knowledge for free.
