On: Wikipedia is not short on cash

[walls]

I'd rather Wikipedia not turn into another Mozilla.

Not having a ton of extra money is a good way to prevent that kind of bloat.

Have to disagree, it makes them more dependent on a few mega doners (Google, Microsoft, etc.).

These campaigns are great to diversify and prevent Wikipedia from being beholden to them.

In the absence of Mozilla, Google and Microsoft decide how you interface to the web.

Who will decide how we interface to encyclopedic facts in the absence of Wikipedia?
