Faire un don à l'association Wikimédia France. Make your donation now. Wikipedia is the #5 site on the web and serves 500 million different people every month – with billions of page views. 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. When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners, but I decided to do something different. If everyone reading this donated, our fundraiser would be done within an hour. This year, please consider making a donation of €5, €20, €50 or whatever you can to protect and sustain Wikipedia. Thanks, Jimmy Wales Wikipedia Founder “Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet has free access to the sum of all human knowledge.”

Keep Wikipedia Free. Jimmy Thank You/en. Incredible. Every year the Wikimedia Foundation sets a goal that it knows will be a stretch. They have to do it, because the Wikimedia websites and movement keep growing. Wikipedia is now the fifth most visited website in the world, but our staff, infrastructure and budget are just a fraction of any other top 10 website's.
Every year, the world comes together to support Wikipedia and its sister sites. Our very first fundraiser was just a community effort to buy a volunteer—who later became our first CTO—a much-needed new laptop. But this year is a little more incredible than most because this year we celebrate Wikipedia's tenth anniversary. Even though we raised more this year than any other year—$16 million—it was also the shortest fundraiser we've ever had. I've got a few more statistics for you: Over 500,000 donations to the Wikimedia Foundation.
So now, we'll celebrate. From the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of the more than 100,000 active volunteers, thank you. P.S. Logo_wiki. WikiMatrix - Compare them all.
