Doesn't bother me and there are no ads.

Respect the hustle. Billions of people use it and asking for donations is better than shaming people for using adblock.

It's either that, or they start running ads or go subscription-based.

I can't remember the last time I went a day without using it, so I happily donate whenever I can.

Today I was looking at a map and for some reason a random, tiny island off the coast North of Russia caught my eye, and I went on wikipedia and there was an article detailing the geography and history of the place. I still can't quite comprehend that a resource like that exists. Shit's crazy.

Wikipedia is one of the greatest achievements in human history. It is a freely available, substantially accurate repository of knowledge the likes of which has never existed before.

If there is anything worthy of a donation, it is it.

Imagine if everyone who used Wikipedia donated just one buck a month. Would make a big difference.

At least they're not being as bad as DSP or Wings of Redemption.

Imagine if they were, though...

Truly, fair enough. I'm really not one to give money to websites but wikipedia is actually one of the few that I do donate $5 every year when they ask. I've just spent so much time browsing it and gotten so much that I feel like I owe it to them.

Maybe TC is Jimmy Wales, and this topic is part of his advanced donation strategy.
