Help Save Wikipedia!


Every child in today's generation has used Wikimedia to his or her advantage. Research, projects, assignments or homework, we've all referred to the online encyclopedia. And not only our generation, but absolutely anyone with a computer and internet at their disposal has gone to Wikipedia in search for answers.

All this year we've been seeing a little bar on the top of Wikipedia's pages asking for donations to help keep the monster of a website running. If you go back now, you'll see in it's place a message from the founder Jimmy Wales...

-x-x-x-

As I wrote that last sentence, I opened up a new tab and went to the Wiki page so as to link a few words to the message and instead I found that Wikipedia had finally reached their target donations and the new banner was now a thank you from Jimmy Wales. Looks like they reached their targets. But still, if anyone who reads this can afford to, then please donate to the largest free online encyclopedia and source of free information and knowledge to internet citizens. Anything helps

I'll leave you with this funny little strip from XKCD about Wikipedia. It's quite... precise?






:)

I was gonna do my little bit in trying to help Wikipedia stay afloat. Thankfully, it's already done!

Who'd've thunked?!
