Dear David,
My name is Jimmy Wales, and I'm the founder of Wikipedia. About a year
ago, you donated £10 to keep Wikipedia online for yourself and millions
of people around the world. Each year, fewer than 2% of Wikipedia
readers choose to support our work. You have been one of those rare
donors, and for this I want to thank you warmly. I'm grateful you agree
that we can use the power of the internet for good. We will achieve this
not as individuals, but as a collaborative movement of knowledge
seekers. Together, we can rebuild trust in the internet, and by
extension, in each other.
Will you renew your solidarity with a £10 donation?
This is awkward to admit, but I have to be honest: 98% of our readers
don't give; they simply look the other way when we ask for an annual donation. We choose not to charge a subscription fee, but that doesn't
mean we don't need support from our readers. We don't send a fundraising email every month. We respectfully ask for just one donation this year
so that Wikipedia may continue to move forward and offer knowledge to
the world.
If all our past donors gave a small amount today, our fundraiser would
be over. Unfortunately, most people will ignore this message. We have no choice but to turn to you: please renew your gift to ensure that
Wikipedia remains independent, ad-free, and thriving for years to come.
We're a non-profit. That means we aren't selling the articles that
millions of people read on Wikipedia each day. We don't profit from the knowledge you seek. In fact, we firmly believe that knowledge should
exist outside of the realm of supply and demand. That's hardly a given nowadays; so much of the world's digital knowledge is driven by profit.
Wikipedia is different. It belongs to the student doing his homework. It belongs to the reader looking up a quick fact. It belongs to the expert sharing her knowledge with the world. It belongs to you, and it belongs
to all of us. You're the reason Wikipedia exists, and we wouldn’t have
it any other way.
It's readers like you who safeguard our non-profit mission. You help us maintain our integrity, quality, and accessibility. Today, please
consider giving again, or even increasing your gift, to keep Wikipedia
free and independent.
Now is the time we ask: can we count on you to renew your solidarity
with a small donation? It will keep Wikipedia online, ad-free, and
growing for years to come.

Thanks,
Jimmy Wales
Founder of Wikipedia

David Brooks confirms that he HAS made a donation! ❤️

Just thought you might like to know.

I automatically send $2 a month to Wikimedia Foundation from PayPal,
so $24 a year, it's the least I can do for such a vital service,
provided by a nonprofit.
You are a GOOD man, Joel. :-D
I wish more folk were as generous as you.

It's the least I can do, honestly. They are doing something that even
my brilliant mind can't do on its own. They are tackling the needs of
people for information, in a way that is unparalleled. I appreciate
that endlessly.

Good Heavens, no! You might need a VPN though!
I would only need a VPN if I cannot access it from my UK IP address.
It's actually hosted on my own ISP, so it's odd I can't get to it.
If you have the time/inclination there's a LOT of background here:-

Uh, oh, I think you've volunteers for a "secret mission".
Drop down to Q-division and pick up your new car.
Ok, but only if it goes faster than a 20 year old Renault Scenic.
They are not MY graphs!!!130mph downhill.

Please let me know.
Yes, I see your two graphs. I can't be bothered working out how to interpret those, what do they mean?
