deception of non-profit organization: under wikipedia, one of the many scams masquerading as charities, in order to justify the constant request for money
image under the structure type of non-profit organization: the first level only volunteers and people who do not receive an emolument (homepage, page request donations). At the second level budgets, and you start getting mixed salaried volunteers. Finally the last level, the header of the assets of non-profit organization (cars, buildings), bank accounts for donations and loans: here are professionals, entrepreneurs, etc.
say that many were skeptical of the idea that nothing short of volunteers around the world could join together to create a remarkable compendium of human knowledge with the sole intention of sharing it.
Above the preface to the annual Funds requested: wikipedia is presented as a set of volunteers. Under the donations page, and already 'perceived fraud: the money comes directly to Mr. Jimmy Wales and volunteers
Just then a quick navigation of the site to begin to discover the flaws:
(budget):
3.7.5. Postal account and virtual POS | - € 60 |
3.7.6. Accountant | - € 600 |
3.7.7. Expenditure on new headquarters Roma | - € 1,000 |
magically appear here
accountant, € 600 (usually a friend or relative, the basic principle of non-profit scams), but that there 'on the home page of donations, and where wikipedia' presented as a union of (only) volunteers
(wikifondazione the report):
Relations with Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation
Wikimedia Italy is working with the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. , a foundation organized under the laws of the state of Florida (USA). The Foundation non-profit organization incorporated in the USA was formed to manage the technical infrastructure on which stands Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, multilingual, free content, written collaboratively by volunteers. Wikimedia Foundation operates the servers that host the various language versions of Wikipedia and its sister projects such as Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wikimedia Commons and Wikispecies, is also responsible for the contents leg wings of these projects, limited to the fact that owns the server. [2]
No advertising. No gain. No hidden ultimate goal.
already 'managing server of the fifth site more' visit to the world and 'a good source of income (and maybe he and' also the owner), in spite of the above statements (page request donations)
Mr. Jimmy Wales is not 'a volunteer, but (from the same wikipedia):
After his bachelor's degree (undergraduate) enrolled at Auburn University Ph.D. finance at the University of Alabama, who left after earning a master's degree (MSc). It re-enroll at Indiana University, also for a doctorate in finance, but leave before writing the thesis. [2] Wales went on to become a stockbroker in Chicago, where within a few years it has gained economic security and a considerable wealth .
money please, I need!
money to wikipedia, but as in all non-profit, non-wales ha nessun obbligo di fare quello che dice (sotto un esempio)
So Jimbeau cancelled an upcoming trip to Italy, Serbia, and Croatia, and got to work finding receipts. I helped process them. Subway ticket in Moscow: $0.50. Massage parlor in Moscow: priceless. Some were accepted; others were not, like the $650 spent on two bottles of wine during a dinner for four at Bern’s—I remember that one because he submitted it twice, once with the tip scratched out. I wonder if the students who gave up their lunch money to donate to Wikipedia would have approved of that expense. In the end he reached a deal with Brad—details unknown—and paid the Foundation about $7000 in two checks. I don’t know what happened with the rest, but the checks can be found in the list of donors.[...]
