So give me a good reason why you aren't donating 2 of whichever currency you are using to wikipedia. They have been running without ads unlike already sick profiting sites like google. they have provided a lot of information wich, yes, can be false sometimes. but admit they give good information on a lot of things

Don't be a dick. mr krabs would donate, even scrooge mcduck would give a penny.

They have helped you, help them

Well I'm about $700 in debt. Good enough reason for you?
>>
they should just run ads so i can block them
>>
>>53887858
Because I already gave them $5 like three months ago

Also owner sucks cock

Donated about 20 dollars in 5th grade with my moms CC LOL, but seriously no, I wont do it anymore. They used money on a secret search engine without telling the donators.

What's the point of free information sharing when people are not prepared to listen.

They are politically biased. Why would I support anyone who is?
>>
>>53888675
what if you have one of those 10 billion sites and freaking wikipedia takes away your traffic though??. Should they donate to you?
>>
>>53888533
It is for me, since I've never been in debt before.

Because all their non stem(and even then some) articles are leftist propaganda and their autistic janitors are all commies

I've also donated quite a few times in the past, that was just the most recent instance. I really respect what Wikipedia does and I hope it stays ad-free as long as possible.

Because Wikipedia isn't a source and I don't want to support retarded college students who use an aggregate site rather than source material.

If you disagree with something, correct it yourself to make it seem as unbiased as possible. That's the cool thing about Wikipedia, by people for people.

I used to donate. I don't any more since I'm reasonably sure they are not going to have money problems any time soon.

As much as I love Wikipedia I want another Wikipedia type site to start up. Sadly Wikipedia has been getting a bit to comfortable in their position.

Why do they want so much of my information?

I'd have donated them 10 mBTC or something but this is sort of unsettling.

Because they don't need the money! Their survival is not dependent on fundraisers, it's a sucker grab.

Because I'm already giving several hundred dollars a month (that's just a few thousand cents a day!) to African children, lions, elephants, abused dogs, monkeys, bugs, and the moles on Sarah McLaughlin's face.

Because Jimbo makes enough to own a private jet from advertising on Wikia, and feeds however much of that is necessary to keep Wikipedia afloat. If Wikipedia were really as desperate for cash as they appeared every time they asked for it, don't you think their string of miracles would have faltered by now?

>>53889119
That shit is all required if you're using a credit card...

There are a lot of wiki's. wikipedia is just a general. you used to donate so that is enough/

Are you an English teacher for high school students? Cause they're the only people I know who act high and mighty about Wikipedia.

Donate to ellen and dr phil!

>>53889161
But this is a bitcoin transaction, not a credit card.

I sent them an e-mail asking about it and whether they could provide an anonymous donation option.

I will only donate if it's possible to do so without the inconvenience of having to submit my personal info like this. Makes me feel violated.

Bahaha you think that matters on wikipedia? They will go as far as change the rules so a favored admin can do as they please. Every even remotely political article is camped on by zealots who will edit war you with dozens of sock accounts. The inner circle is literally a cabal of autistic jews who remove anything that counters their marxist beliefs. Your facts and citations matter little if they go against the narrative.

The Bruce Jenner name change pissed my off. They changed his name long before he had legally changed his name.

If they would stick to just... running wikipedia, they'd already have enough money to fund themselves for a decade or two. A million bucks buys a really major-league web hosting contract.

But no, they have to have a big foundation and hire a hundred do-nothing chucklefucks who stick their fingers into all sorts of things to justify their budgets. Things that have nothing to do with their stated goal of running an online encyclopedia. I don't donate because they piss so much money away on ancillary garbage and then come cap-in-hand for more money so they can keep doing it.
>>
>>53889782
There are a lot of Wikipedia articles about people where the title is something other than the person's legal name. And this is such a non-issue that only a complete sperglord faggot would be "pissed" by it.
>>
>>53889882
Why are you using a tripcode?

>a complete sperglord faggot
nigga where tf u think u r?
>>
>>53889882
If it was such a non-issue then why was it so important to change his name right away?

His name was Bruce Jenner until he legally changed it. Period.
>>
>>53889180

Uhh... No? I'm a uni student. I appreciate what Wikipedia does from an ideological standpoint (free repository of all the world's knowledge accessible to all) but also because it's a great way to get introductory information for a paper, which you can then go into Wikipedia's citations to find actual sources.
