Wikipedia is closing down! are you going to? - Hector - 02-19-2014 12:31 PM
make a donation?
As you maybe aware when you visit Wikipedia you will see a banner at the top saying they need donations to stay active, are you planning to donate and have you ever donated before?
Apparently they need donations every year to stay a float.
Stupid idiots are against the idea of advertisement, if they had advertising on all their billions of webpages they would make £1B+ per year. Stupid business amateur fools.

Facebook didnt want to advertise, so had no advertsing revenue and was worth £0.00
But now it makes hundreds of millions from advertising and has turned it into a multi billion pound business empire.
Small amount of advertising like that wont hurt anyone.
Plus there is a lot of empty space on the right and left of wikipedia pages as you scroll down.

No way! I would never donate to wikipedia. Wikipedia is not accurate and teachers say to always never use wikipedia so i don't care if its closing down.

No I won't make a donation. You're right common since says to advertise. Facebook didn't won't to advertise but look where it got them. The advertisements don't have to swarming but some could help the site.

I don't care tbh... and I agree that they should allow advertising on their website... in moderation, I hate websites that have so much advertising you don't know what the website actually looks like
