DEAR WIKIPEDIA READERS: This week, we ask our readers to help us. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn't belong here. We survive on donations averaging about €10. Our fundraiser would be done within one hour if everyone reading this right now gave €2 - about the price of a cup of coffee. We’re a small non-profit with costs of a top 5 website: servers, staff and programs. Wikipedia is a public utility. It is like a library or a park where we can all go to think and learn. If Wikipedia is useful to you, take one minute to keep it online and ad-free another year. Thank you for your support. €2 €5 €10 €20 €30 €50 €100 €
