I run a knowledge engine project that actively mines facts from web-based sources and third-party data dumps. It was featured on the front page of HN a while ago, and has a total of $10 in funding (from a single donation; not a typo). I have, however, put a ton of time into it, and it's something I'm very passionate about. I'm fairly confident Wikipedia can have success making initial headway on their grant objectives with $250,000.

If anyone's interested, here's a demo of my own project: https://tuvalie.com/fae/?q=Albert%20Einstein

Over 15 years ago, for my undergraduate thesis I set up a "Hypermedia Textbook" on the history of my field. I had to manually collate all the info, manually scan in every photo, and type in every last bit of text and html. The end result was a couple hundred pages that looked very, very similar to what your Einstein page looks like! At the time, I knew a better way would emerge, but didn't know how or when. It's moments like this that I (a) feel old :( and (b) am amazed by the times we live in and the speed at which things are happening! :) Thank you for providing such a wonderful, if unintentional, moment of self-reflection!

Thank you for checking it out! And if you have any ideas for how things can be improved, I'd love to hear them :)

So apparently Einstein has his own, official website (einstein.biz). Who knew? It has got a proper shop and everything!
