Do you use Wikipedia?

I would second this. I have donated in the past but not recently - I will remedy that.

I’m not sure about this. I have donated in the past but I’ve since read that they have some v big backers.

Yes. I've just had a very nice reminder that I donated last year and would I like to give again - I gave another small donation.

I can't give any more than this as have a monthly DD to Crisis the homeless charity, and that's where I prefer my money to go.

It's an invaluable resource and I do donate because I am grateful to the people who share their knowledge so generously.

The Wikimedia Foundation does have some big backers. They publish a list of donors categorized as major benefactors, patron, leading and sustaining donors contributing $1000 upwards:

wikimediafoundation.org/support/benefactors/#section-4

Well they say they are very grateful for any donation no matter how small, so just a tenner would do. They always thank you very warmly and make you feel it is appreciated and that goes a long way with me.

I only use it for stuff I don't mind being wrong to be honest - such as looking up what an actor might have been in before or the history of a village.

I am not really a fan - which probably is because it was often wrong in the "old days".
It would peddle "myths" and half-truths about things I knew a lot about. In those days anyone could put anything up and edit it too.

I've not really got into the habit of using it since as I still see it as unreliable.

I have been donating £10 for a few years now.

NotSpaghetti I don't really see it as an irrefutable source of wisdom and stake my reputation on its accuracy, but for everyday purposes it is very handy. There are some articles which have an incredible amount of information and have clearly taken huge effort to compile. Look at the level of detail in this entry:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19

Yes I do use it, and yes I do give a donation when the annual request is made. As has been said, it’s not always totally accurate, but I bear that in mind when reading.

I can see it probably has a use chestnut but I just wouldn't go to it for anything important or serious. I don't think you can just edit stuff these days (as you once could) unless you're some sort of "editor" with permissions. I may be wrong.
It's clearly much more accurate than it used to be.

Re the Covid entry - I have read loads on Covid (like most people) but mainly have gone to Google Scholar and looked for whatever aspect I was interested in. It just wouldn't occur to me to look at the Covid entry here!

I'm glad so many people like it and if it adds to knowledge, well, I'm not complaining!
