- MollyR 11y agoThis makes a lot of sense to me. I'm not quite clear on where the Wikipedia donation money goes though. But if they have a significant amount left over, they could use it on something worthwhile like fact checking.
- wpietri 11y agoI think paying for writing would be a giant mistake. There's a big psychological difference between working for intrinsic rewards and extrinsic rewards; the former gets you much better work. There's also a huge problem with paying some people and not others; my guess is a lot of volunteers would quit immediately if other people were getting paid for similar work.
