Okay, I just saw this on Wikipedia and realized that I've never actually made a donation like this and probably never will unless I force myself to (that too because I should and not because I actually want to). I also realized that almost everyone I know would think in a similar way. I would be willing to wager that Indians would make up a very small percentage of the donors- is there a way to find out? Is it an Indian thing? Apparently, there are enough people worldwide who do want to donate. It doesn't take anything spectacular. 340 million people donating even 1 rupee worldwide would make it 7 million USD worldwide. Don't say that you donate to very worthy causes in general- the fact that you use wiki as often as you do is enough to justify a sizeable donation surely.
so how much are u plannin to donate? i had donated 0.1$ on some site sometime back .. some guitar related site only.. don exactly remember the name..
Nothing. I saw the donation banner until a few days ago (it's gone now and replaced by a Thank You note...which is what made me feel a little bad about myself). That's precisely the point. I don't seem to even want to give anything to them. Would you donate to wikipedia?
..and i guess everybody is a freeloader.. everyone loves things for free.. irrespective of the ethnicity..
but u can still donate dude.. click on that thank you note and at the end u'll find DONATE NOW link..
There is a difference between liking things for free and being a freeloader. Everyone likes things for free but some are also willing to pay voluntarily for services provided. Dude, are you thick? I've just said twice that I don't want to donate.
oops... well.. i donno but i might donate.. the reason being that i use wikipedia for almost everythin... from office work to guitar related stuff.. info bout bands.. some history as well sometimes.. ppl like me shud pay.. watever be the amount..
Should was never in question. The question is "will you?". If yes, is it just because you should or because you want to?
Fair!? It felt like I lost a friend when that site went down. Probably wouldn't donate to wikipedia. I use it everyday but.... meh.
