I’m just going to take the opportunity to talk about that Wikipedia is free, it doesn’t have advertisement, all the data is freely accesible and your privacy is respected, is just maintained by donations and the community. Just looking around other platforms I think they do an amazing job, so consider to donate today to keep it that way.

they have more than enough money to keep the server running for decades. not to say you don’t need to donate, but you don’t need to impulse donate every time the big header appears.

When I get their email every year asking me to repeat my donation it seems like they are a bit in trouble. They are not?

That’s how they collect the surplus they have right now. Without it, they could be in much direr straits if funding were to be suddenly cut off.

I donate about 100 USD a year, give or take. I figured it’s worth it for as much as I use Wikipedia

As someone who can’t afford to donate, I appreciate you.

To be fully transparent I donate 1 dollar a day, I just appreciate what they do, and I would like to have more services that are able to keep it that way, sadly that is not the case.
