Do those things help Wikipedia? Like, if more people receive a stem education worldwide (especially in areas not well served today), doesn't that improve the health of Wikipedia in 15-20 years as we see the beneficiaries of those programs reach adulthood?
- A4ET8a8uTh0 4y agoIt is an interesting if. Is there an indication that any of the ancillary grants by Wiki actually fund "stem education worldwide (especially in areas not well served today)"?
- pilgrimfff 4y agoGee, I wonder how Wikimedia could make this practice ethical? Maybe actually tell people it's going to those causes instead of Wikipedia? Naaaaaaaaah
- 613style 4y agoThe simple point is that the fundraising banner is intentionally misleading. People believe they are donating to the cause of keeping Wikipedia online and significantly less than half of their money is going to that.
- theandrewbailey 4y agoIt's an extremely inefficient way of going about it. If they wanted to improve the health of Wikipedia, they could directly hire people to do that, and results would happen sooner.
