As most of you probably know Wikipedia runs on donation. I just found Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has bought 0.1 BTC at Coinbase. Hopefully Wikipedia may accept Bitcoin as medium of donation soon...

Wikipedia is centralization of information. Information should be decentralized too.
You're right of course but if you don't present a case or any arguments it just sounds like a case of "not invented here syndrome", hence the troll calls.
Back to the OP, Wikipedia accepting BTC would certainly raise the profile of crypto, we're talking about the 5th most popular site on the web, and certainly many non-tech types value it and donate IME.

Trollololo
dumbololol you can't even explain how wikipedia is not centralized...

The amount of idiots on this sub-forum is staggering.
i think you are one of those who take wikipedia information for granted or believe the myth that anyone can edit a page without problems. Try checking the history of controversial subjects pages, the version that gets published is the version that some mods think are best, that's all.
But even then I think you are too idiot to explain how wikipedia is not centralized information.
Once they do I will resume donating to them. At this point there are enough worthwhile charitable organizations which DO accept Bitcoins and I have a finite amount of resources I can give away that there is no reason to not direct it towards those organizations which intelligently cut credit cards out of the process and improve the efficiency of their process by 2% or so.
That 2% is a lot. 2% of 100M is a lot.It is a significant cost overhead they don't need
As long as they convert it at fairly robust rate the donation more or less is the same

I even sent a BCgram (I just coined that term, of which should be self-explanatory): https://blockchain.info/tx/db6e18713dd1d0dead70fba1957577bc48c211d106a1c2bdcd15a9a2d43cab60

Lol
I don't see any reason for them to not to accept BTCBTC as they are non-profitable organization, and totally supported by donations..! and if they start accepting bitcoins i'm sure they will get a good amount of $BTC$ from this community
May be he's just testing the waters for now..! lets see what happens in next few months..

That's a little good for them but a huge benefit for us. Wikipedia accepting Bitcoin means it will generate huge international acceptance.
