June 14: An important update from Jimmy Wales

Please don't scroll past this 1-minute read. I'm sorry to interrupt, but it's Friday, June 14, and it will soon be too late to help us in our fundraiser. I ask you to reflect on the number of times you visited Wikipedia in the past year and whether you're able to give ¥300 to the Wikimedia Foundation. If everyone reading this right now gave just ¥300, we'd hit our goal in a couple of hours.

It is hard to know what to trust online these days. Wikipedia is different: not perfect, but also not here to make a profit or to push a particular perspective. It is written by everyone, together, because they want to help create a free repository of high-quality information.

Reflect on the usefulness of Wikipedia in your life, and if the knowledge you gained here was valuable, please give ¥300. Every contribution matters: every edit, every donation counts.

Proud host of Wikipedia and its sister sites

Sorry to hear that. We don't email often; would you consider changing your mind?

Launched28 June 2005[citation needed]

Megalodon (Japanese: ウェブ魚拓, "web gyotaku") is an on demand web citation service based in Japan.[2] It is owned by Affility.

Megalodon's server can be searched for "web gyotaku" or copies of web pages, by prefixing any URL with "gyo.tc"; the process checks the query against other services as well, including Google's cached pages and Mementos.[3]

On 12 November 2010, Affility revealed that all files copied before the first half of 2007 were lost because of a malfunction in their backup process.[citation needed]

Megalodon does not archive sites which include a "noindex" or "noarchive" tag in the robots.txt file.[4]
