Wikipedia Fundraising

Wikimedia will not turn into social media and continues to refuse advertising. The assertion was made by Jimmy Wales and Sue Gardner, the leader of the Wikimedia Foundation, in the Wikimedia's tenth anniversary.,

According to Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia will do is increase the availability in regions such as Southeast Asia, Africa, Middle East, and South America. They also hinted will open a new office in India, the first office outside the United States.

The Wikimedia Foundation is a nonprofit organization that manages Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia. Wikipedia; that has been available in 280 languages​​, already contains more than 20 million articles in more than 100 volunteers from around the world.

Jimmy Wales said, Wikipedia is no place for ads, although it does not forbid commercialization. "In my opinion, advertising is not something evil. Ikian but has no place here, not in Wikipedia."

Due to lack of income, Wikipedia is currently only supported 679 server with 95 staff. Therefore, the Wikimedia Foundation always do fundraising. Last year they managed to capture U.S. $ 16 million of the 500 thousand people from around the world.

In his message, Jimmy Wales has said, if every person who visits Wikipedia are willing to donate U.S. $ 5, fundraising takes only one day. Are you interested to donate? *** [TECHLEASH | IQBAL MUHTAROM | KORAN TEMPO 3714]Enhanced by Zemanta
