We will get straight to the point: Today we ask you to help Wikipedia. To
maintain our independence, we will never run ads. We depend on donations
averaging about $15. Only a tiny portion of our readers give. If everyone
reading this gave $3, we could keep Wikipedia thriving for years to come.
The price of a coffee is all we need. When I made Wikipedia a non-profit,
people warned me I’d regret it. Over a decade later, it’s the only top ten
site run by a non-profit and a community of volunteers. Has it crossed my
mind how much we could have made if it had ads? Sure. But it wouldn’t be
the same. We wouldn’t be able to trust it. Most people ignore my messages.
But I hope you’ll think about how useful it is to have unlimited access to
reliable, neutral information. Please help keep Wikipedia online and growing
. Thank you. — Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia Founder | g***j
