- PhantomGremlin 12y agoWow. Quite informative. I urge anyone interested in the politics of Wikipedia to read it. I didn't know about "affiliate entities". But most surprising was the breakdown of employees. I certainly wouldn't have expected this: the Foundation’s paid staff and contractors page lists 215 people ... They comprise 2 people in the Office of the Executive Director Lila Tretikov, 18 in Grantmaking, 17 in Fundraising, 14 in Legal and Community Advocacy, 4 in Communications, 17 in Finance and Administration, and 11 in Human Resources. The remaining 132 ... work in ... Engineering and Product Development They have 11 HR people out of 215 paid employees??? Finally, to keep it all in perspective, remember what Michael Scott said: "Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information." - Michael Scott
