== Wikipedia still can't be sold. ==
This is it.
Thank you for considering a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation.
Just a few days left.

In the age of AI, access to verifiable facts is crucial. Wikipedia is at the heart of online information, powering everything from your personal searches to emerging AI technologies. Your gift strengthens the knowledge of today and tomorrow.
Google might have close to a million servers. Yahoo has something like 13,000 staff. We have 679 servers and 95 staff.
If Wikipedia has given you useful knowledge this year, please give back. There are no small contributions: every edit counts, every donation counts.
Wikipedia is the #5 site on the web and serves 470 million different people every month – with billions of page views.
Thank you.
Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn't belong here. Not in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is something special. It is like a library or a public park. It is like a temple for the mind. It is a place we can all go to think, to learn, to share our knowledge with others.
When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising, but I decided to do something different. We’ve worked hard over the years to keep it lean and tight. We fulfill our mission, and leave waste to others.
This year, please consider making a donation to protect and sustain Wikipedia.
Thanks,
'''Jimmy Wales''' <br/>
Wikipedia Founder
