Wikipedia, do you need $5, $10 or $20 from everyone? Do you have 679 servers or 400? Different numbers listed on different pages…sounds like they are just making these up! And before you ask, yes I’ve donated – Wikipedia is amazing. But still this is kinda funny!

The first is for Wikimedia and the latter for Wikipedia.

Wikimedia and Wikipedia are the same thing
If you read the article you’ll see they’re just tweaking the numbers to see how they can get the most money donated.

They’re tweaking the donation numbers indeed. But the server count is more probably a not up-to-date number, or a mistake. There are plenty of knowleadgeable Wikipedia volunteers reading these donation pages, so they are not going to lie on purpose. This issue was probably reported quickly by the community, and fixed ASAP.
