Yes, I donate once a year to Wikipedia, also to the Guardian and other community sites that depend on funding from their users.

Yes - I too donate. I feel I use the ‘service’ quite a bit, so it’s only fair to pay a little.

A couple of my friends think I’m daft/soft. “They’ve got tons of money, you haven’t”. Fair comment.

It’s just that I use their site (a lot). And trust their impartiality.

Do YOU donate?
What are your thoughts on this?

Yes I know we can all choose whether/where to donate but my question is only concerning Wikipedia.
