“Wikipedia is not for sale.” – A personal appeal from Wikipedia-Founder Jimmy Wales

 

Please don't ignore this 1-minute read. This Thursday, November 28th, at 8:49 am I ask you to reflect on the number of times you visited Wikipedia in the past year, the value you got from it, and whether you're able to give €10 back. If you can, please join the 1% of readers who give. If everyone reading this right now gave just €10, we'd hit our goal in a couple of hours. It's hard to know what to trust online these days. Disinformation and scammers are everywhere. We are passionate about our model because we want everyone to have equal access to quality information - something that is becoming harder and harder to find online. If Wikipedia has given you €10 worth of knowledge this year, please give back. Thank you.
