Are the donations which were made to Wikipedia, and not Wikimedia, going to be restricted for use only by Wikipedia, or was this a bait and switch. Maybe the people who say they'd "donate, but only to Wikipedia, not to Wikimedia" really do want to donate, but only to Wikipedia, not to Wikimedia. > Suggesting that it was criminal is... well, regrettable. I didn't consider that possibility until you explained that the intention was to trick people into contributing to Wikimedia when they really wanted to contribute to Wikipedia. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
