Nothing fishy, this is Wikipedias yearly campaing.

I got this on May 5. Gotta admit it was pretty convincing so I did donate. Probably not an emergency really but I think they deserve it anyway

They do this fundraising once a year I think. Honestly, I think it’s fair to donate some money, considering that I use it all the time, there are no ads and even if I can’t cite them in my work, I can always check their original source.

Daily reminder that wikimedia gives a small % to actually keepinig wikipedia alive. When u donate $15 to them, only few cents at best are going towards severs/staff etc. Most of the money goes to their foundations. Don’t wanna say they kinda laundering this money, but it looks like that with those shady projects to support trans/lgbtq/minorities people. But it’s not nice to criticize fundraising to minorities so nobody’s looking into that.

Czy tylko mnie zastanawia dobór zdjęcia? Już parę tygodni mnie ho gnębi. Serio to jest najkorzystniejsze? To jakiś przekaz podprogowy? Ja wiem że nie o to chodzi i być może jestem przewrażliwiony ale litości.

This is so sad that OpenAI, Microsoft, Anthropic etc. sucks a tons of data from Wikipedia for free and Wikipedia struggle to fund itself…
Sadly this is kind of misleading on their part – wikipedia has A LOT of money in their reserves, they are not close to bankrupcy or anything similar. in fact they are quite rich.
