When I made Wikipedia a non-profit, people warned me I’d regret it. Has it crossed my mind how much we could have made if it had ads? Sure. But seeing millions of people around the world respond to our fundraiser this month makes it clear that we chose the right path. |

From Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales
Wikipedia is one of the most visited websites in the world.
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.
If everyone reading this donated, we could keep Wikipedia thriving for years to come.
This year, please consider making a donation of $5, $20, $50 or whatever you can to protect and sustain Wikipedia.
Thanks,
Jimmy Wales
Wikipedia Founder
