As I understood it, they were having a fund drive anyway (for them) and raised some extra funds to hire a person to work on Wikipedia articles. They weren't trying to raise funds *for* wikipedia, just for paying labor that would work on wikipedia. Basically they were trying to get a vote of confidence from their community that it would be a good thing to do.
I've not heard anything about how it's turned out or what actions they've taken... has anyone else? phoebe
