| Snapshot from Wikipedia page |
We all have used
Wikipedia at least once in our lifetime, and if you are familiar with the
internet, you would know that almost all the information can be found on
Wikipedia. It's been more than a decade since Wikipedia came into existence and
soon after its birth it became really famous.
Any event, person,
Information, anything at all… you may find it on wiki and if not, you may not
find it at all. Do you know that it was all for free. Wikipedia never had ads
on it (One reason, among many others, why we love it so much) and it ran just based
on a community of volunteers. It is the only website amongst the Top Ten being
run non-profit.
Very recently, I
have found that Wikipedia is requesting donations to help it sustain. It seems
that they have run out of cash for the site. They want to run it free from ads
and independent. I say we can help them and we should. We have used their services
for quite some time now.
The minimum that we
can give is Rs.100.
It's what you would
spend on unnecessary things each week. If all of us donate just Rs.200 only
even then it is going to be more than enough.
Let's help our
saviours people. Let us make Wikipedia run again. Now is the time we give.
Don't worry Jimmy,
we are here!!
