Every now and then I'll get an email from someone higher up in Wikipedia asking for a donation. I don't really mind a tenner but I don't know if it pads the pockets of corporate management or actual contributors. Also, are they really short of money or is this tugging at emotional strings a play at something else? I wish Wikipedia survives but there's a lot of projects I need to donate to and I have a budget.
no, they are critical to the US propaganda network which means they'll get funding if they actually ever need it. same w/ stuff like falun gong media or anarchist magazines (cointelpro).
