Whoop. Well done Jimbo and co. I hope this doesn't mean you're turning down the Google offer though? Wasn't there supposed to have been a meeting about that in March? --[[User:Cfp|cfp]] 18:24, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

On Advertising

Yahoo! does not expect Wikimedia to host advertisements in return for this support.

Except for the the one you're reading right now. (w:Irony)

Yahoo!'s Touch of Death

Last time Yahoo! buddied up with another organization (in this case, my Internet Service Provider, SBC Global), my ISP changed their customer web pages' host server from a regular, reliable web server run by the ISP... to Geoshitties, with the same 5MB-per-hour bandwidth cap on all web pages. I hope Yahoo! isn't planning on fucking up yet another good thing with their deceptively friendly partnerships. --69.234.185.170 18:12, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yahoo! v. Google

Whoop. Well done Jimbo and co. I hope this doesn't mean you're turning down the Google offer though? Wasn't there supposed to have been a meeting about that in March? --cfp 18:24, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sensitive Data / Privacy Laws

There are some flamewars on rumors saying Google / Yahoo is getting access to sensitive data (like passwords and the ability to match read-access logs to usernames).

Content restrictions

I hope this does not mean that Yahoo's content rules will apply to Wikipedia. Yahoo is very generous in any case, but I hope the Foundation will remain in full editorial control subject to the law of the hosting country. --62.252.0.4 19:09, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
