Nice catch!

Will the media report this scandal?

Or will they, as they do with so many other important issues, ignore it?

@michaellamb: Regular people, i.e. they have no wikipedia entry, who donate are unlikely to have bribed Wales.

"If true, Wales's act makes all donors suspect. It also implies there may be other off-the-record 'donors' who've paid to whitewash their Wikipedia pages."

Not individual donors--the type who click on the PBS-style donation drives, and since when did one doing sometime bad imply one did something worse?
