I am sure most of us know that Wikipedia asks for donation every year to wear the cost of servers. Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, you can find almost any information on Wikipedia and it is the largest encyclopedia of the world. It is ad free and 5th largest website on the web.
Previous year donator were able to donate only in dollars may be in some other currency as well but not in INR (India rupees).
However this year you can donate in Indian rupees (INR). Donations are starting from Rs. 100. You can donate small donations as RS. 100, 200, 300, 500, 1000, 2000 or 3000. If you want to donate more than 3000 you can choose how much you want. You can donate using your debit card or credit card.
If you want to donate via PayPal you have to donate dollars not rupees means you have to add dollars then your dollar will be converted in rupee and if you will agreed it will be deduced from your debit or credit card. So if you want to pay Rs. 100 you will pay Rs. 110 if you go with PayPal.
Donations are running so you can visit Wikipedia and on header you will see someone requesting for donations.
Donate Rs. 100, Rs. 200 or Rs. 300 to Wikipedia Do you know Wikipedia is one of the best website in world and its a open source and non profit organization developed by Jimmy Wales ?Do you know how Wikipedia is living ?This website is non profit organization and its living on the basis of donation given by various people all over the world each year.Why Wikipedia is looking for donations ?To run this website successfully (without ads) Jimmy Wales looking for donations According to Jimmy Wales If everyone reading this donated Rs 100, we would only have to fundraise for one day a year. But not everyone can or will donate. And that’s fine. Each year just enough people decide to give.I think every IT professional can understand this and can help Wikipedia by donating some rupees.
