(This has been proposed and done here before. I just can't find the thread.)
Instead of pleading and wasting our time with stuck up entities like Wikipedia, let's all simply email every entity to which we send money in any form with a simple question, “
Do you accept payments in Bitcoin?” ...Or whatever question you think gets your point across.
Don't bother arguing, or explaining B and its benefits to them, and the how's and why's of it. Don't follow up, even if they don't answer! They are business people, and can figure all of that out themselves.
Just put it on their agenda to answer, and move on.
(I have been surprised how many still answer that they don't know what it is...)
