I am personally a big fan of Wikipedia, and since last year I am also a proud donor to the Wikipedia foundation. I think the Wikipedia project is an awesome example of what people can do when they work together towards a common goal. It is impressive. And if you have read my posts, it is also one of my favorite sources of information – but I think I am not alone here. Many people use Wikipedia as their main reference source, in personal life, in research, at work.
So if you have found Wikipedia useful in your daily life, why not give back? Any sum is helpful, even a 5 dollar donation is good – if each one of us donated 5 dollar Wikipedia would have enough budget to work for years (they have a very small staff of 95 persons – incredible).
So please, donate to the Wikipedia foundation! Not only will Jimmy Wales thank, but also me. And probably many other people around the world.
