Our friend @craignewmark is doing an AMA on @Reddit ! Join in! Craig supports so many initiatives you can ask about, but in our case we'd suggest asking about Craig's specific approach to supporting the Wikimedia movement, and free and open knowledge on the Internet 😁.

@Wikipedia is where facts go to live. A network of editors provides an immune system that's the best that that people can do. They do this to benefit, seriously, everyone.
