Sometimes I wonder if wikicities is a futile venture. Wikipedia is a VERY innovative idea, and in fact, a necessary one. That subsists on donations. However, there iis uncyclopedia, a part of wikicities. So little funding is diverted towards it that it has reduced to showing adsense ads on its pages. Wikitionary is somewhat unnecessary... doesen't serve the same purpose as wikipedia - at least not to the same level of potency. Wikiquote is also unnecessary, but wikitexts is somewhat ok.
What is questionable is that there are tax deductions because of donation to wikipedia.
Wonder how they pulled THAT off.

I think you're mixing up the Wikia projects with the Wikimedia ones.
The Wikimedia Foundation is the non-profit which relies on donations. It runs Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and the others listed at wikimedia.org.
Wikia is a completely separate, commercial company, which runs Wikicities, Uncyclopedia, and Memory-Alpha. Only the Wikia sites are ad-supported and run for a profit, not the Wikimedia sites.
