Jimmy Wales started Wikipedia as a scam after a string of failed porn sites he started (look up "Bomis Babes"). The intention was to sell the website to Britannica. That was his "big brain" business model then: make a knockoff version of a mainstream brand and sell it early.
But then he realized that the Wiki project would qualify for grant money from governments if it were structed as a non-profit and presented as an "open source" educational project. Government grants and donations. That's how he became wealthy, although he claims not to be a billionaire. There's no fucking way he isn't. Wales also works closely with those governments -- like Israel and the EU -- to censor articles, omit entire facts, and project political narratives.
We're sorry we've asked you a few times recently, but it's Monday, December 23 – please don't wait until tomorrow to help. We're happy you consult Wikipedia often. If just 2% of our most loyal readers gave $2.75 today, we'd hit our goal in a few hours. Most readers don't donate, so if Wikipedia has given you $2.75 of knowledge, please give. Any contribution helps, whether it's $2.75 one time or monthly.
If you lie and click the "I already donated" button beneath them then they stop showing the banners. They don't ask for proof that you ever donated anything.
Jimmy Wales, their co-founder, has partnered with the IDF to "combat antisemitism" on the site. How? A fact is a fact, right? Wikipedia even offered training to "Cyber Commandos" (IDF civil affairs officers) who were given moderator status to censor, lock or omit entries on the site. PropaPedia is the last place you'd want to look for information.
Every charity is a scam. If you think there's a good charity you just haven't looked at it closely enough. There might be true believers on the ground but at the top it's always a gold goblin.
"We need money!"
"To maintain your website, cover operating costs and overhead?"
"Yess...."
Actually finances leftist american propaganda
This could be done with the Anakin/Padme meme.
"We need money!"
"To maintain your website, cover operating costs and overhead?"
"..."
"To maintain your website, cover operating costs and overhead?"
Edit: Did it myself!

Those banners are getting comically big.

No I like feeling like I'm ignoring them each time I check wikipedia.
Big Assassin's Creed energy. Oh, you're poor and sick and hungry? Too bad, I got shit to do.
"Do you have any spare change?"
"No."
"But I can hear money in your pocket."
"Yes, but it's not 'spare' as you so specifically begged for.
I'd rather throw money in an incinerator than give it to them.
PropaPedia, the #1 source for govt-censored narratives and revisionist history?
Yet.
I have my adblocker remove them.
''Sar. SAAAR! PLZ DONATE SAR.''
“No, I don’t think I will.”
money laundering and embezzlement.

Lol, "cyber commandos".
It's a joke.
Gamergate has (harassment campaign) directly in the title
Cultural Marxism has "Far right antisemitic conspiracy theory" as the subtitle
Wasn't it the Wikimedia Foundation that gave funding so that a sheboon "scientist" could run an experiment but ended up killing all the octopi?

TL;DR: Wikipedia evolved into money laundering front for the globalists that pushes regressive leftist propaganda.
That's fucking insane
Wokes are a social group of parasites with useless degrees and no practical skills. Boomers syphon money from the public to fund their grandkids
It's okay. I'm sure they mean well! :')
It's how rich oligarchs pay each other off: by "donating" to their foundation.
Fuckers ask for money then spend it all on this
