Wikipedia is much more important than Wikileaks in terms of visibility and this would bring us a lot of attention.

I was surprised that after 3 days there was barely 0.1 btc donated to him. I was expecting to see at least 3 btc in donations to motivate him accepting BTC on wikipedia.
I donated some, please do so too so we can gain more visibility. If possible send him a message through blockchain so that he can see we want it added to wikipedia and it would be very good for Wikipedia

Get them to set up an official address and donations will go there. Anything else smells of a scam (especially from a newbie) despite your good intentions.
Do that yourself. The Wikipedia founder posted his address after someone told him to do that and he'd have a surprise (receive lots of donations by bitcoin enthusiasts so he would see this is no joke and would think of putting into wikipedia for sure) but I bet he didn't have any surprise when he saw no more than $50 being donated to him
I just shared the information (and am glad donations are popping in! I really hope this brings his attention! Wikipedia donations will be an important step for us) if u wanna do more u or anybody else is free to do that urself instead of calling others scammers

We are nearly at 2 btc!! That's great!! I'm so happy people are excited with this that I'll donate some more myself again
