Let it die. I could do without it.
Wikimedia Foundation takes in roughly $209 million a year and ended 2025 with nearly $300 million in net assets.
Not bad for one of the largest scholarly pan handlers in existence.
Here's a list of things people don't like about WikiBeggar:
- Wikipedia has become more bureaucratic.
- New editors have a harder time contributing.
- Automated moderation catches legitimate edits along with vandalism.
- Notability rules exclude obscure subjects.
- Wikipedia depends heavily on established secondary sources.
- Media and institutional bias can carry over into Wikipedia.
- Experienced editors have more practical influence than newcomers.
- Political and controversial articles become editing battlegrounds.
- Consensus often favors people with more time and experience.
- The Wikimedia Foundation has grown into a large institution.
- Wikipedia has moved away from the culture of the early web.
- Its reliability improved, but openness and flexibility declined.
- Internet history, obscure software, old websites, and local knowledge are often poorly represented.
Every year just for fun I email them and tell them I want to donate but will only do some in Bitcoin. Haha
