Jonas,
You couldn't be any farther from the truth.
Collecting demographics are critical to the long-term sustainability
of the organization and the project. From them, you can do
appropriate fundraising targeting, project planning, and make growth-
oriented decisions with hard data to back them up.

I don't want to seem rude, but I don't think that anyone cares about
the
demographics of Wikipedia. It doesn't matter.
