It's something I must do in fairness. It seems to be a much more reliable source these days, a valuable tool to have at your disposal.

Why John Breslin?

I must get around to donating a few quid to it, it's so useful. Thank you Jimmy Wales

TwoShedsJackson

I'm rushing to donate a fiver right now so I will not be denied another 20,000 article on the history of Pokemon.

Legs.Eleven

I donated 5 Euro. I use it all the time so it's 5 Euro well spent!

strobe

I donated three euro to them all right (think they had some message saying "if every user donated just three euro something something ... )

Got a call straight away from my credit card company 'concerned about the unusual activity'.
Guess judging by my usual purchases they figure I'm not the charitable type or something.

Either that or there must be a gang of notorious Robin Hood-esk credit card thieves that steal your info and go on crazy charity donation sprees...

Weevil

I donated €20 (I use it quite a lot) and got a nice 'thank you' e-mail in response. However, the next morning I realised that there was no money in the bank account I debited.

cml387

I contribute whenever they ask. Ususally a tenner.

It's got to a situation now where you can't imagine life without it.

AND I edited an entry once, there was an untruth in the article about Zaph.

Like these guys?


Seriously though, I wouldn't support that factually fluffy online encyclopedia perpetuated and peppered with user opinion for the most part rather than solid facts. I'd sooner plagarise obtain my information from original sources.

Anybody who only uses one source for their information deserves their mistakes.

Wikipedia is a great starting point. You get the basic idea from there, and work your way up. The world would be a lot poorer without it, its value in improving people's awareness of the world around them is hard to understate tbh.

I donate every time they ask. Its been incredibly useful over the last few years. I don't use info from the website itself but the citations are a great way of finding proper articles and papers that I can use for college stuff.

Ahh I know what you're saying Cody, but I wouldn't go that far. Sure some people think Facebook is "the Internet".
