- JonnieCache 15y agoPerhaps there are many, but they don't feel the need to issue a press release about it. Would you?
- goblin89 15y agoGood news for Wikipedia, though to be fair he did not donate (the source says he promised to), and it's not Facebook for Russia as such (a separate social network which copies Facebook functionality and features similar UI).
- kokey 15y agoI'm all for donations from outside of the US, I'm also for voting to have fewer than 7 out of 10 of the Wikipedia board be from the US. I think this is important for the neutrality of Wikipedia, perceived and real.
