In December 2012, there was a separate funding controversy as these individuals travelled from Australia to Colorado in the United States to photograph and write about a [[skiing]] competition for para-sport athletes.<ref>http://www.wikimedia.org.au/w/index.php?title=Proposal:Paralympic_Winter_Sports&oldid=8387</ref> They sought $4,635 in funding from the Australia Wikimedia Chapter for their trip, but started the trip before hearing a reply and pressed their funding claim while already on route. If Wikipedia relies upon secondary sources, it is not clear why they should fund amateur photographers and journalist to travel to para-sport events on the other side of the globe.
