donation issue edit

I received the following message when I see a wikipedia page:

It's a little awkward, so we'll get straight to the point: This Wednesday we humbly ask you to defend Wikipedia's independence. We depend on donations averaging about ¥1,500, but 99% of our readers don't give. If everyone reading this gave ¥300, we could keep Wikipedia thriving for years to come. The price of your Wednesday coffee is all we need. When we made Wikipedia a non-profit, people warned us we'd regret it. But if Wikipedia became commercial, it would be a great loss to the world. Wikipedia is a place to learn, not a place for advertising. It unites all of us who love knowledge: contributors, readers and the donors who keep us thriving. The heart and soul of Wikipedia is a community of people working to bring you unlimited access to reliable, neutral information. Please take a minute to help us keep Wikipedia growing. Thank you.

I do not feel like donating to such a system with biased treatment of view: one side is allowed reverting any contents while other is blocked without proper reasoning. contradicting to The five pillars of Wikipedia
