From Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales

Wikipedia still can't be sold. Thank you for considering a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation. We invite you to reflect on the number of times you visited Wikipedia in the last year. If the knowledge you gained here was valuable, please join the 2% of readers who donate. Any amount helps: €5, €20, €50, or whatever feels right to you today. 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. If Wikipedia has given you useful knowledge this year, please give back. There are no small contributions: every edit counts, every donation counts. Thank you.
