On the contrary, Nathan, every single time I have asked them to hold the campaigns open after the fundraising goal has been met (most if not almost all of the past ten years) in order to, for example, fund the Endowment or save more money before the Endowment existed, they have refused to do so. Is there some document I am missing?
Best regards, Jim

"Deleting Wikipedia?" was the subject line of the e-mail I received as well. It also, as usual, included the claim that if enough donations were received the campaign would end early. That hasn't been the case in the past when campaign goals are met.

There is a report from a user on Jimbo's talk page on ENWP regarding receiving fundraising a fundraising email with the subject line "[NAME] - Deleting Wikipedia?"
In previous years I've disagreed with some of WMF's fundraising choices, and it would be unfortunate if in the era of "fake news" becoming mainstream WMF chooses to continue to be a part of the problem. If this is happening then I request that WMF put a stop to it. Regardless of how effective it is to send misleading fundraising appeals and that WMF has received minimal repercussions for doing so over the years, it's wrong and it should stop.
