they are emailing too

got this a short time ago (after I read el reg story)

Dear (me),

Thank you for helping keep Wikipedia online and ad-free. I’m sure you’re busy, so I’ll get right to it. We need your help again this year. Please help us forget about fundraising and get back to improving Wikipedia.

[..]

If all our past donors simply gave again today, we wouldn't have to worry about fundraising for the rest of the year.

[..]

To protect our independence, we'll never run ads. We take no government funds. We survive on donations from our readers. Now is the time we ask.

If Wikipedia is useful to you, please take one minute to keep it online and ad-free another year.

[..]

Thanks,

Jimmy Wales

Wikipedia Founder
