I like Wikipedia but I’m still not going to donate. They’ve got many millions and a bunch of millionaires on the board. They don’t need my money!

These millionaires may or may not do anything for Wikipedia.
They don’t make profit, there is no risk of “over donating”
The risk is that they vote for higher salaries for themselves! They already earn way more than most people!
They are board members of a non profit that is performing splendidly. If the options are to either pay them more or lose them to the private sector I say jjst pay them more.

Donated.
Xelon is nothing but a drug addict, and he's fuckin' nutzzz!
You know what? I'm upping my monthly donation.
A while ago he offered to donate something like $100 million to Wikipedia if they changed their name to dickipedia...
Seems like for that price someone could write a custom hi that only shows for that one guy. Heck, we could crowd source an entire nazi version that only shows to that one guy
What's the controversy? I mean from what I see, it's a bit pushy, but you only see it if you use Wikipedia
