Wikipedia, the ideal, will face issues involving thing thats it is not. Wikipedia is not Google or Microsoft, yet it will have to deal with them. Here is a recent story of it doing just that:
"Issues pertaining to differences of opinion and conflicting interests surmounted at Wikipedia recently, when Microsoft Corp., the global software giant, made a call for rectifying certain “inappropriate” data on the website. Soon the news spread like rapid fire that Microsoft approached a developer, asking him to modify inaccurate data posted on Wikipedia. Several unsavory reactions from the Wikipedia volunteers brought to light the bottlenecks present in the way of successfully managing and coordinating a website, bearing communal interests." - Internal Conflict
Microsoft may someday, donate something to Wikipedia. Or not. Bill Gates my someday decide Wikipedia is somehow the best thing since sliced bread and put his money where his mouth is, or not.
