School vs. Wikipedia

I still donate when asked, it’s one of the biggest achievements of free software. I wish I had more time to contribute to the pages, as I imagine that would be worth more to them than my 20 bucks.

Donate to the Internet Archive instead. Performs a vital service for Wikipedia, archiving sources before they disappear off the internet, so you can still verify Wikipedia content when the cited source is gone.

Start donating to Wikipedia again when they are honest about their financial situation.

And on the Wikimedia Endowment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2...

Thanks for the insider baseball on Wikipedia; I didn't know any of this. Will make sure I continue to support Internet Archive and take any money that I might have earmarked for Wikipedia and send it their way (along with employer match!)
