Does Wikipedia really need my donations? (infosec.pub)

Every now and then I'll get an email from someone higher up in Wikipedia asking for a donation. I don't really mind a tenner but I don't know if it pads the pockets of corporate management or actual contributors. Also, are they really short of money or is this tugging at emotional strings a play at something else? I wish Wikipedia survives but there's a lot of projects I need to donate to and I have a budget.

Does anyone here have wage increase of all the "big responsability" jobs since wikipedia creation ? Jobs like ceo or technical directors, any types of directors

Actually Not really but It will be good if you donate.

no, they are critical to the US propaganda network which means they'll get funding if they actually ever need it. same w/ stuff like falun gong media or anarchist magazines (cointelpro).
