<br>However, do you agree with me that being able to contribute to Wikipedia (financially or as an editor) is what it takes to give a sense of ownership?<br>

<br>Does that necessarily mean they feel a sense of ownership vis a vis the charity they contribute to? I'm not sure. I think people feel good about giving, but not sure that is a proxy for ownership. Some may, others may not; it may also vary with amount etc.<br>
