This was manifestly not a "fatal" idea. In fact, it appears they concluded that *operating on donations *would be fatal. Moral of the story: Wikipedia is different.
Considering how much spam we receive, and how long some of it persists, I sometimes wonder if we haven't miscalculated the costs and benefits. For example, WMF could be getting something like $30 per-click on ads in articles like Mesothelioma. Ad money instead goes to enterprising spammers who sometimes succeed in placing their links in high-traffic or high value articles.
