< Terminus and/or Trantor, anybody?
Tl;DR: wikipeida's yearly income from fundraising *and* expenditure almost double each year. Some users question why, when the quality of the content hasn't changed much (or at least, not due to editors being paid). Why not just save the money, and use it to fund the servers as they did 15 years ago.
I mean... *everyone* with half a software brain knows that LESS(1) is better than MORE(1)! :-)
