Congratulations Wikimedia Foundation, you have just guaranteed I will never, *ever* donate to you. This is beyond ridiculous.pic.twitter.com/tdzlFmlctd
In case you still thought Wikipedia's fundraising is necessary and they totally aren't pissing away your money: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2017-02-27/Op-ed …

You don't have to use Wikipedia though. They're not doing anything shady and donations are voluntary.

Don't get me wrong, I certainly hope Wikipedia continues to exist. I just don't want people to get the idea that they're somehow struggling.
