Wikipedia needs my personal data?

1 pointsby soongover 4 years ago
Listen Wikipedia, several times now I thought about making a one-time-donation. I use Wikipedia a lot, so i think it&#x27;s only fair to give back a little. But why do you need all my personal information like my real name and my address when I try make a PAYPAL-Donation ? Sorry, but nope.<p>EDIT: Turns out you don&#x27;t have to - I&#x27;m just an idiot.

&gt; Listen Wikipedia,<p>Have you contacted them?<p>I checked their German page and after selecting paypal there&#x27;s a &#x27;no address&#x27; option.<p>I&#x27;m sure they will work with you on alternative payment options, e.g. simply give you their paypal email address. They accept checks in mail, maybe they also accept cash in mail. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;donate.wikimedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Ways_to_Give" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;donate.wikimedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Ways_to_Give</a>
