If everyone reading this donated $5, we’d have enough to cover Wikipedia's expenses. Not everyone donates. But each year enough people decide to give $5, $20, $50 or whatever they can to protect and sustain Wikipedia.
 * 1) Google might have 1,000,000 servers. Yahoo has something like 13,000 staff. We have 679 servers and 131 staff.
 * 2) We’re the fifth most visited website in the world, providing free knowledge to half a billion people every month.
 * 3) Volunteers create Wikipedia, but we have the same costs of any big website: servers, connection, power, rent, and technical staff.
 * 4) We’re funded by our readers, not by ads or corporate sponsors.
 * 5) Wikipedia is offered in 284 languages, with more than 15 million total articles.
