WHAAAAAT??? She got paid 300k for 5 months of work????? She took Wikipedia form a growing #3 website in traffic to a footnote website with struggling volunteers. And she got 150k loss-of-opportunities bonus? She is doing nothing now, of course she stayed for an extra year when her last 5 months were compensated with 300k. That is 700k annualized salary for a foundation that has been begging its visitors to donate and her salary is 1% of all of that for a whole year. And people even say thanks for her not-only-ripoff but essentially complete destruction of the entire potential the foundation had in 2007??? “I categorize from 2007 until now as the decline phase of Wikipedia,” says Aaron Halfaker, a grad student at the University of Minnesota who has worked for the Wikimedia Foundation as a contractor and this year published the most detailed assessment of the problem. “It looks like Wikipedia is strangling itself for this resource of new editors.” What a pathetic end for Wikipedia to thank somebody who raped it monetarily and of its potential.

Regarding both the 'remote' and the 'reportedly, does not need German', this diff confirms the latter and casts some different light on the former. --Izno (talk) 11:55, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Form 990
I presume the "990" mentioned is Form 990?
Maybe a wiki-link is needed. 220 of Borg 06:03, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
