I am a self proclaimed wiki-phile, I always donated when I could. It was kind of like going to the library without the fresh book smell.

For a very long time now, they’ve been great about the more technical topics. But for a lot of the more political articles, they’ve been questionable. Bad sources, saying that sources say things that the sources don’t actually say, leaving out important information, framing things in odd ways. Bunch of dumb drama and edit wars. Heck, even one of the founders left over it.
That, and they solicite donations without telling people where that money is going. I don’t mind keeping the servers running or paying volunteers, but why did they give 5 million to “anonymous”?
