Rant: Go away Wikipedia begging for money again.

Post by jim »

We don't care. I like wikipedia, use it often. If it disappeared tomorrow I would miss it for about 2 seconds. It's not worth a cup of coffee to me. So no money for you.

But keep up the good work guys, good site!

I like Wikipedia, so I gave them $20. It's one of the most useful websites out there. I don't understand the hostility about the fundraising.

See, I don't have to give anything, everyone else is doing it for me. I will say the banner at the top is better than the pictures of people they put up last year. That was horrible.

wikipedia can ask for my money anytime it wants. Remember when you had to pay hundreds and thousands of dollars for all that information?
