Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia
An important update for readers in the United States.
You deserve an explanation, so please don't skip this 1-minute read. If you've lost count of how many times you've visited Wikipedia this year, we hope that means it's given you at least $2.75 of knowledge. If so, please join the 2% of readers who give to keep this resource available for all.
After nearly 25 years, Wikipedia is still the internet we were promised—an oasis of free and collaborative knowledge. By visiting Wikipedia today, you're choosing a free and fair internet: a space to find facts you need without the distraction of ads or the agendas of wealthy owners.
If you are undecided, remember most readers don't donate, so any contribution helps – and monthly gifts are the best option for a lasting impact. So if Wikipedia provides you with $2.75 of knowledge, please donate today. Thank you.

The internet we were promised
After nearly 25 years, Wikipedia is still the internet we were promised— an oasis of free and collaborative knowledge. Today, we ask you to join the 2% of readers who support this space. If everyone reading this right now gave just $2.75, we'd reach our goal quickly.
