I hope they don't. Wikipedia and the Wikimedia foundation is quite dodgy behind the scenes.

It shouldn't take away from the benefit the project provides.

The work of countless unpaid contributors should not be used to distract from the shady organization profiting off their work.

		Wikimedia is the shady organization with the pop-up banners begging for money, yes. Wikipedia itself is what it is, a library of collective effort. As much as I despise wikimedia, the worth of wikipedia for humanity is so much more compared to the negative aspects of wikimedia.

Yeah it's so ridiculous seeing them ask for "donations" (which they just pocket) when the running costs for the next century are already in the bank.

They pretend it is a charity, but it isn't. It all just goes to shareholders.

		"It all just goes to shareholders" What is this nonsense? It's a non-profit. There are literally no shareholders.
