Wikipedia a dat startul strangerii de fonduri necesare pentru 2011

Tags: Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia.org

Nu-mi dau seama care e targetul anul acesta, insa, anul trecut, Wikipedia a reusit sa stranga peste 5 milioane de dolari, din cele 7.5 pe care si le-a propus. Bannerul cu Jimmy Wales, fondatorul Wikipedia, de altfel si singurul banner prezent pe Wikipedia, va fi vazut luna aceasta de peste 400 de milioane de vizitatori unici din toata lumea.

It is the 5th most popular website in the world. The other four have been built and maintained with billions of dollars in investment, huge corporate staffs and relentless marketing.

But, Wikipedia isn’t anything like a commercial website. It is a community creation, written by volunteers making one entry at a time. You are part of our community. And I’m writing today to ask you to protect and sustain Wikipedia.

Together, we can keep it free of charge and free of advertising. We can keep it open – you can use the information in Wikipedia any way you want. We can keep it growing – spreading knowledge everywhere, and inviting participation from everyone.
