news item re deal with Google

this news item seems important. just posting here for discussion; I don't have a strong opinion on this.

  • Article: Google agrees to pay for beefed-up Wikipedia service | Malay Mail
  • Quote: Google has agreed to pay for ramped-up Wikipedia services, part of a growing trend for the US tech giant to strike commercial deals with other web companies.The Wikimedia Foundation, the charity that oversees the online encyclopaedia, said Google was the first paying customer for its commercial venture Wikimedia Enterprise, which it launched last year.The Internet Archive, a non-profit that runs a site called the Wayback Machine that saves snapshots of websites and is used to fix Wikipedia links, will be offered the commercial services for free.

Saturday museum

I see that admission to the classroom is free for those who pay for museum admission. Do we get in really free? Jim.henderson (talk) 17:01, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

@Pharos told me he spoke with the event organizers and confirmed the edit-a-thon is free for those who only want to attend it. Does this mean access to the rest of the museum? I'd hope so but can't confirm. Anyone with over 5000 photos uploaded to commons should get in to any photography museum for free, in my opinion. - Wil540 art (talk) 17:14, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
