@jhall251 wrt financials the WMF -is- relevant as the organisations are very similar in their stated roles relative to the projects, and it is completely fair game to position oneself as different see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Guy_Macon/Wikipedia_has_Cancer (note that the assets don't include the 100 million + in the endowment).
@simon
sigh. we are talking past each other. I'm trying to communicate to you that for me, someone not familiar with your org, but pretty familiar with Wikipedia, combining an ask for your org with a dunk on Wikipedia is not persuasive. You may have valid criticism of Wikipedia or WMF - combining that with asking for support for your org is not effective for me and likely for others. If you are only interested in communicating with ppl already "in the know", no prob. GL!
