Donate Wikipedia - An appeal from Wikipedia founder

Saturday, December 27, 2008

Donate Wikipedia.
  • Its one of world's 5 most popular web properties
  • Has 11+ million articles
  • In 265 languages
  • Serves 275+ million every month
"Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge." - Jimmy Wales, founder of this wonderful site.

We have been using it throughout our life, almost like google, but we fail to notice that there are no ads on their site. Its a purely non-profit site run for well being of the whole humanity. Today on all the pages, appeared a header which linked to this page where the founder has voluntarily asked us to donate. It's a site run for us, and we have to help them sustain the site which needs around 6 million dollars per year and they run it with 23 workers only.

It can be anything as less as 1 dollar. But we have to understand that it will be the most useful one dollar you have spent in life for ourselves.

Click on the banner below to donate now. I request all bloggers to spread the word to support them. Just putting up a banner on our blog's sidebar can help them. You can get the code for different banners from this page.
