Bitcoin Forum

What is wrong with them? Bitcoin has gained so much acceptance and attention, and they turn a blind eye.

I have donated to them a few times and have contacted them about Bitcoin but never got a reply I don't understand why it's free money and they would be profiting a whole lot in the future.

Neither EFF is accepting them, which is even more worrysome.

It's always fun when they put up those "personal appeal" banners.

Didn't they just do one a few months ago?

They do:

They stopped accepting them in June 2011, and resumed accepting them in May 2013:

But we're going off-topic.

Wikipedia doesn't need your money.

Not according to sadface Jimmy up there.

+1 to they don't need money

I don't donate because Wikipedia is not collaborative at all, at least in my language's section. It's dominated by political views, it's ridiculous that some admins and arbitrators have a political party logo on their profile page.

I also do not understand why they won't accept BTC donations.
I'm sure they'd benefit a lot from it.

bitcoin is awesome for donations
every organization that needs donations SHOULD integrate bitcoin or litecoin asap!
i have donated money to them before if they want money from me now plz turn to bitcoin

They would benefit from it hugely.  They probably don't want to be seen as endorsing it.

What the hell does "endorsing it" even mean?  By accepting euros an organization isn't assenting to the sociopolitical/fiscal policies of the European Union.  By accepting a donation, all they are doing is acknowledging that said currency is worth money.

please everyone that has a sec email them saying that you would donate if they were taking bitcoins.

Such actions have been set up before, unfortunately without any result  :-[

Lots of people have emailed them that already. Doesn't seem to be making much difference.

That's a interesting logic, so anyone that is accepting paypal for payments, is endorsing paypal?

That's not the logic of the masses though. At the moment they think Bitcoin is for drug dealers, child pornographers and tax evaders even though fiat is more widley abused for that sort of stuff, but they'll just keep believing the media slander,

Well, yes?

There has got to be a politcal reason that they don't accept bitcoin donations.  I haven't looked into this at all, but who owns wikipedia, or who sponsors it?

every time I come to these forums i think my iq drops 20 points.

You people are fucking morons for wanting to donate to the wikipedia liars.

Also why does bitcoin attract so many stupid people who think regulating bitcoin is what bitcoin's intent is?

I personally would not ever donate to Wikipedia, the Wikimedia Foundation, etc. They are a bureaucratic meth addict's wet dream.

But Wikipedia.org is a top 5 site - huge. If they accept Bitcoin it would just serve our own greedy goals.

I've sent them this email

Lohoris, your emails are read by support workers, they don't care about your "bitpay spam".

You need to contact the right people, write in threads and discussions.

You Know DEVtome wiki is much better and the pay you to write!!!!!

But I don't care.

That is the address they provided, and I just wrote them what they shold do if they aren't stupid.

Not my problem if they won't listen.
