What is the yearly earnings or net income of wikipedia and subsidiaries in relation to contributions, sponsors and the like? Furthermore why does wikipedia require contributions? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SC(+)pE (talk • contribs).
 * It requires contributions because it is a charity, and there are no ads at all on Wikimedia projects, therefore pretty much the only method of income for Wikimedia is by way of contributions. I don't personally know the answer to your first question. --Dreaded Walrus t c 01:12, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
