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
