well we all know wikipedia is the best place to find any information we want on internet and we all have been using for the time we have been on internet. Now wikipedia is not like google, aol or yahoo who give information and alos some advertisements and make millions
wikipedia gives only information and has no advertisement to support its funds and is more like a volunter website with real great content.
Now it need $6 millions USD to keep wikipedia up and running each year and recently it has been asking for donation...
My quesion have you donated to the great E-encylopedia?? well i ahve not got much but still i gave $5 i had in my paypal account. How many of you have donated and if have then how much do mention it ..

I've never contributed/donated to Wikipedia before. I've actually never really thought about contributing to the site before, believe it or not. But I might someday, who knows.

well i am no one to question your actions but i do think if any one can spare or has the means they should support this website which has helped us all the time and now it needs our help..
amount doesnt matter even a dollar can make big difference.

I have never contributed in Wikipedia so far. I have not donated so far. But yes I do make frequent use of it. However the price of keeping wikipedia running online, the price tag of $6 millions USD seems far fetched.

Uuppss !!!...not yet, adrainsean. Fortunately your discussion noticed me about this type of donation and just now before making respond to your discussion I surfed wikipedia site and found your telling is the true and truth. They only operates with twelve (12) staffs in its organization and needs money to keep the ball rolling. OK, me too, will do some contribution to donate there. Thanks for your good discussion.
