Wikipedia has finally answered my email inquiry with a stock template response.
"Thank you for your email.
The Wikimedia Foundation is the non-profit organization that exists to support and grow the enormous network of volunteers who write and edit Wikipedia and its sister projects -- more than 100,000 people around the world. The Wikimedia Foundation does not allow advertising on Wikipedia or our other sites. Instead, we cover the costs of operating the sites through donations that directly support some of the most popular collaboratively edited reference projects in the world, including Wikipedia, one of the world's top ten most popular websites and the largest encyclopedia ever compiled in human history.
Even though Wikipedia and its sister projects are in the top 10 visited websites in the world, we employ around 200 people and some temporary staff. Roughly half work on technology and software development, a small team supports our public outreach and volunteer cultivation activities, and the remaining staff work on finance, fundraising, and administration. In addition, your support helps to pay for the technology infrastructure (servers and bandwidth) that keep Wikipedia running and growing."
Reps name omitted for obvious reasons.
This is unacceptable. It says the same thing the donation page says and answers none of my questions.
