Wikipedia is asking for donations.

I wrote Wikipedia and told them I will "NOT" be donating to Wikipedia for the simple reason that they allow and promote the exposure of magic secrets in the public domain.
If they were to stop supporting that, I would consider donating but not until then.

If you feel the same way, please drop them an email at: info@wikimedia.org or donate@wikimedia.org

What a joke, you think they're going to care about that?

They may not, but is that any reason to take that tone?

I don't know whether they care or not and I couldn't care less either way.
I just wanted them to know why I was not donating.

Simple as that.

Well, if no one writes in, then we can be even more sure that no one at Wikipedia will care. You never know what one letter can do (clearly, not that often, but...).
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

All it really needs is magicians policing/editing the Wikipedia entries to remove exposure. Sure, the old exposures can still be viewed by going back through the entry history, but how many people are going to bother with that?
