    But having an open data project full of information that’s actively contributed to and fact checked, with copies over many servers, is much better than having the same thing but fragmented. I still don’t see a reason. If it was something else or corporate driven, I wouldn’t bat an eye. But Wikipedia?

      You can have all of that good if you want to, but being federated allows people to break off if they want. It also allows for niche servers.
