I donated to Wikipedia, today. A few bucks to a very valuable site.

Wikipedia should run a fund raiser: "Give us a billion dollars or we'll change the name."

Donate today or else!

$1b = Wikipedia

< $1b = W

Nah, he'd call it X again, like literally every other company he's tried that with.

But for only $8 a month you are the only one who’s allowed to edit your site.

Wikipedia is not the Achilles heel of free access to information. The Achilles heel are the sources: libraries, websites.

Consider donating to the internet archive instead or as well. If the sources are poisoned, Wikipedia just repeats bullshit. It's secondary literature.

I'm not sure you know what Achilles heel means

[-] jasondj@ttrpg.network 14 points 1 year ago

An Achilles' heel[1] (or Achilles heel[2][3]) is a weakness in spite of overall strength, which can lead to downfall.

A few years ago, I set up a monthly donation. Of all things I can use for free on the internet, Wikipedia deserves it the most.
