Jimmy Wales, fondatorul Wikipedia cere ajutorul financiar al utilizatorilor:
Today I am going to ask you to support Wikipedia with a donation. This might sound unusual: Why does one of the world’s five most popular web properties ask for financial support from its users?
(…)We have a small number of paid staff, just twenty-three. Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose. Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars.
(…)Like a national park or a school, we don’t believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia. We want to keep it free and strong, but we need the support of thousands of people like you.
I invite you to join us: Your donation will help keep Wikipedia free for the whole world.
Pana acum am evitat subiectul “crizei financiare”. Tocmai pentru ca lucrurile sunt mult mai incurcate decat ne apar…
