Here’s something no Wikipedian has ever been able to explain.

This Wikimedia Foundation Public Policy Initiative is funded by a $1.2 million tax-exempt grant. Why does it cost so much money to teach college students how to do something (edit Wikipedia) that literally hundreds of thousands of people have figured out on their own, for free?

Furthermore, as long as I have the floor, I’d like to know why the Wikimedia Foundation spends only 41 cents of every tax-exempt revenue dollar on the program services its mission purportedly upholds? This sounds like a waste of tax-exempt “charity” status, if not downright fraudulent re-direction of money.
