I'd donate for wiki before donating anything for my university lectures... They are Capitalist who call themselves Marxist. Sadist who call themselves parents

Negotiate:


Once they start making pennies, government and tax bodies will swing in. Counties like USA and UK will want to tax their revenue, not even minding that there are hardly any payments from those countries.

This your argument no make sense.
A lot of websites that have a fraction of the traffic that Wikipedia has are able to pay taxes, meet all their obligations and thrive.
Let them monetize their website joor.

I know that this opinion will not be a popular one but, I won't advise anyone to make donations to them.
Yes, the owner of Wikipedia created it to be nonprofit, but things evolve.
Starting out as a Non-Profit does not mean that you have to perpetually be a Non-Profit.
Wikipedia is a gold mine that when harvested properly could help a lot of Businesses reach more customers, help the owner support the website and even leave him with a ton of money to donate to charity.

Wikipedia, stop begging and monetize your platform to make the world a better place.

Wikipedia is one of the most helpful websites out there. What we do not know is that the website is not even profit-minded upon all the traffic. It relies on donations from well-meaning individuals who love the efforts and selflessness of the owner of the website. Kudos to them



LOL. Am excerpt from the article says that Wikipedia is a place to learn, not a place to advertise. Who says it can't be both?

I just donated and you too should. A couple of dollars won't hurt your pocket but will help make knowledge more accessible. We've all benefitted from Wikipedia and this time they need your help.
Lalasticlala push this to FP. Most of your post contains links to Wikipedia and helping them gain awareness for the few Nigerians that will donate wouldn't hurt.
P.S I also edit on Wikipedia!

You are a good man.

The decision not to monetise will help them in offering unbiased articles without sentiments

The owner is worth just a million dollars,when he could have been in the ranks of other internet billionaires.

It's Wikipedia for crying out loud.. Anyone can post anything or even edit already existing articles. It's not like they report news or something like that.

Bro I invested all I had into an investment platform on telegram which turned out to be a scam after all and that was all the money I had. My bank account now is less than 2k. I would have shown you if we were on whatsapp

The white lady named Samantha George scammed me of all I had after showing conclusive proof of payment as well as video testimonies from different people . I suspect that the investment does exist but she acted as an imposter and created her own group while copying everything the real genuine trader did. Which makes it impossible to know she's the fake. Story of my life


Please bro I need financial assistance from you . Money to feed now is gonna be a problem until I get paid in 2 weeks time. Plus I owe a debt of 50k to be paid next Wednesday or I'll be in trouble.... I don't want to call any amount as u owe me nothing. I'm just saying whatever you can spare me now I'll take. No matter how little


Or if there's a job I can quickly do (no matter how hard) to raise funds asap then I will do it. Please bro assist me anyway you can

Boss I have mentioned you on dead threads. Did you see it? Or have you chosen to abandon me too? If that's the case. Please let me know and I'll never disturb you again.

Even though you owe me nothing. Do reply me so that I can know for sure that you are not willing to help me anymore then I can resign to my fate

Thanks
