I gave $2 to the Wikipedia. / myLot

Today I was asked if I would give $2 to the Wikipedia. I always do and I did. I am writing this post because during this day I have used the wikipedia 3 times. The last one was because they had on TV a movie about the painter Paul Gauguin. And of course, after I finished watching the movie, I went to the Wikipedia. I could even see many of his most famous works. I think that this is the money I spend with greatest happiness. Of course this is the minimum. But I know that if all of us gave $2 (at least the ones that use it) the Wikipedia would have no money problems. Do you give anything to them once a year?

@marguicha I’ve never used Wikipedia so they wouldn’t contact me.

Just puzzled. What happened to Wikipedia why you need to donate?

They've been asking people to donate for a long time. Don't remember why.

Every year they ask to donete a little bit. They need money, as every thing. You can do it only if you want to. I do, because I use the Wikipedia almost every day.

I don't give them anything once a year. But good for you though.

I don´t feel that a couple of dollars is too much for the service they give.

I give to them just about every time they ask as I'm always checking out things there.

I see that they ask for donations now and again, but I have never donated.

I think that if I use a service, it is only right to pay a tiny bit for it.

Yes, I give them once a year. I use Wikipedia and I think it's correct to give them something.

I have never given anything to them but I am considering this in the future because I use Wikipedia for many of my researches when I write,

As they accept a minimum of $2 I thought that it was next to nothing. The only collection where I give more iks a collection they has here once a year for the children with cancer.
