I though this was a largely accurate article

better than most media articles!
The main body of the article is very good. The summary at the top is
simplified to the point of being inaccurate. The main article
specifically talks about donations from Wikipedia visitors (which is
an accurate description), while the summary just says "donations",
which is obviously incorrect. The office have an excellent track
record of getting these kinds of things fixed - it shouldn't take long
to get them to add "from Wikipedia vistors" to the summary.
Of course, that still wouldn't be right - 'through banners on Wikipedia' would
be more accurate. Getting media coverage 100% accurate is difficult (if only they used
wikis…) - sometimes inaccuracies just have to be lived with, as grating as that is to any
Wikimedian's soul. ;-)
