Google might have close to a million servers. Yahoo has something like 13,000 staff. We have 679 servers and 95 staff. |
|||
Wikipedia is the #5 site on the web and serves 470 million different people every month – with billions of page views. |
|||
Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn't belong here. Not in Wikipedia. |
|||
Wikipedia is something special. It is like a library or a public park. It is like a temple for the mind. It is a place we can all go to think, to learn, to share our knowledge with others. |
|||
When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners, but I decided to do something different. We’ve worked hard over the years to keep it lean and tight. We fulfill our mission, and leave waste to others. |

If everyone reading this donated {{2012FR/Switch/AppealAmount|language=en|country={{{country}}}|amount=$5|$5}}, we would only have to fundraise for one day a year. But not everyone can or will donate. And that's fine. Each year just enough people decide to give. |
|||
This year, please consider making a donation of {{2012FR/Switch/AppealAmount|language=en|country={{{country}}}|amount=all|$5, €10, ¥1000}} or whatever you can to protect and sustain Wikipedia. |

Thanks, |
