You think that it is unhelpful and this is fine, you are free to ignore my comment and donate to wikipedia if you want. My post is meant to inform people so that they can make an informed decision and not feel like they have been scammed.

As for whether parties are important for wikipedia, anyone interested in this topic can read the links that I posted earlier. There was a debate whether they are helpful or not if I remember correctly.

Wikipedia is good at running wikipedia. They produce something incredible. If you want to exercise moral control over people who do jobs you don't understand, by all means keep your money. But it's not helpful for you to encourage others to do that.

Many wikipedians will disagree with you.

> They produce something incredible

The volunteers do.

> But it's not helpful for you to encourage others to do that.

Again, my desire was to inform people as to not regret their decision to donate, unlike me.
