Haven't you seen their reply? (and ours?):
Yeah. I suppose it can't hurt to keep badgering them though.
Exactly. You don't have to donate, just ask them to accept it. If they accept it, it also may help move along the removal of sudoghost lol

Just today I sent them my normal email stating that I want to donate, but I could not find their bitcoin address. When they respond and say they do not have one. I act shocked and request that they email me when they get one so that I can help them. I also mention that PayPal or credit cards are not secure or private enough. I don't feel too bad saying these things, as they are true.

I'm sending the following-
Hello,
I love wikipedia. It's an incredible resource, both for useful needed information and for simple browsing and reading for fun. Many times I have consulted wikipedia for something and seen the notice at the top, pleading for donations. Unfortunately, it seems you won't accept my donations in the form of bitcoins.
Part of the reason I love wikipedia is that it is open an free, not free in the monetary aspect but free in that it is free from mega-corporation control. Being forced to support a for-profit corporation such as paypal, Mastercard, or Amazon in order to donate to wikipedia is unacceptable to me. I want to donate to you, but I refuse to give any part of that donation over to a corporate entity simply because they control the payment methods.
I understand some organizations are afraid to try this new currency, for whatever reasons. However, I urge wikimedia.org to look into the details, as there really is nothing to fear. WordPress recently began accepting bitcoins, as time goes on the currency will become more mainstream, however I'd really like to donate right now and I simply can't until you choose to support the currency.
Bitcoins are free and open. I would happily donate 5 bitcoins right now, today, (current value ~$60 USD) if wikimedia.org would simply accept them.
Thank you,
[my name]

if their answer is no - why do you folks feel the urge to keep badgering them about it?
do you behave this way when anyone else tells you no?
