A subreddit to help you keep up to date with what’s going on with reddit and other stuff. EDIT: Oh Dear! It appears English Wikipedia would not be 6 million pages. It is currently 6,694,000+ articles! And I like old school encyclopedias with short little entries- the average wikipedia article is 1,813 words- which is several pages each.

I have been blocked for a year for reasons that were given by an administrator after I attempted an appeal: Don’t donate to Wikipedia, the people that do the actual work don’t get paid at all, donate to them instead, Wikipedia gets plenty of donations from corporations and such.
