Wikipedia Needs Money

Video Appeal:

Our own goldmine of information (other than Google, of course), is having a fundraising drive. At first, I thought that Wikipedia should have no problem getting money. After all, what are we without Wikipedia? As the days went by, the donation-meter barely went up at all! For shame!

Since I still haven't been approved for a credit card by the bank which shall not be mentioned, I've decided that I will do my bit by featuring their plight on my little piece of internet real estate. No, the birthday donations from my party will not be going to their (worthy though it may be) cause.

How to donate:

1. PayPal / Credit Card
Donate securely online with PayPal. You do not need an account to donate with a credit card. You can send donations in any of the currencies below without having to pay a currency conversion fee.

2. Moneybookers
