I think it was bad wording. Those salaries are sky-high, but they're about average for those kinds of positions.

Any idea if the Wikipedia people getting those salaries are based in the US?

Wikimedia Foundation is headquartered in SF, so probably safe to assume a lot of executives getting those salaries are based there.

So how about moving it somewhere else? What's so particularly encyclopaedic about San Francisco that it has to be based there?
