"Who owns Knowledge (XXG)?" is the question, not "Who owns the domain names". I mean, this whole thing could be sold to Google in a flash, set up on wikipedia.google.com and that would be that.

warned that this article may soon be deleted. I do modestly think that, in view of the many entrances with my name, it would be worth readers' while to know a bit about myself and my publications. Is there any way this can be done? For instance, could I ask someone else to take care of it?

What is the prospect of having the page statistics of articles posted on those pages? For example, I noticed that an article I was working on is in the Top 5,000 articles accessed. It'd be interesting to see how articles "rank" compared to others when perusing the encyclopedia here.

result pages have lots of namespace searching options but no Wiktionary option that I could find. A link to Wiktionary a couple clicks from any Knowledge (XXG) article and copy paste would be helpful. THe best I've found is : -->
