Why would I donate to a site that is responsible for centralizing information around the world? I can't believe people are helping information get centralized even more.
What is wrong with you? Wikipedia isn't centralization CONTROL, it's totally 100% free to everyone. No profits!! Volunteer based!A great cause, one of the best things to result from the internet, and the foundation for the future of a worldwide knowledge-base of humanity.
YOu make zero sense.. what being 100% free and volunteer based has to do with it being or not being centralized?
Wikipedia is information controlled by a few administrators, centralization of information is 1000X more dangerous than centralized currencies and central banks, and people like you are feeding this monster like stupid zombies.

Huh? Much information was always centralized in a few major encyclopedias and large publishers' publications!
Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. So creation of content is being decentralized.

So you're saying that because information was always centralized, it's good to keep it centralized?
And you obviously know nothing about how Wikipedia works. Anyone can edit? lololol anyone can edit until a sysop say you can edit.
Creation of content couldn't be more centralized, there's one and only one version of a given subject and which version gets published is dictated by a few sysops that have other buddies as sysops too.

It's all open publication license..... Anyone can download the database dump of all the content and share....
what exactly are you going to do with a db dump?

And so far, nobody's created any peer-to-peer Distributed Wiki protocol alternative to even try to replace using a centralized website, yet.
WP is still a step away from centralization; however.

Why you are stuck with peer-to-peer in your head? YOu can have decentralized information using good old internet protocol for that.
Wikimedia or w/e their corporate name is already told everybody why they can't accept bitcoin, it's because donations need to be tracked through the fiat system to link up identities because of political shenanigans and charity fraud. This is Jimmy Wales' personal bitcoin address which he will just blow on Chateau Petrus so feel free to donate to a millionaire for no reason at all

It is true. And I think centralized info is not a bad thing at all.

Ok but what is wrong for you with Wikipedia?
How many times you was happy that Wikipedia exist?
How many times it was damn useful for you?
A hundred? Thousand? Perhaps.
But I think donating someone to make him accept BTC is strange way of forcing him to it.
I think he should decide without donations.
