[WikiEN-l] Corporate Donors - Status?

[Bartning at aol.com]

There's been a lot of talk about paid editors, but what about conflicts of  
interest with Wikipedia when it accepts donations from corporations?   There's 
already belief that the organization gives large companies a lot of  perks, 
e.g. allowing them to upload their logo, even mentioning them in an  article, 
but how do donations from them influence Wikipedia?
