  1. The day I nearly let Wikipedia die

    To my eternal shame, I only found out today that Wikipedia has been appealing for funds to continue it’s work. Yes, I’d seen the banner at the top of the website, and with hindsight it meaning should have been obvious, but at the time it wasn’t.

    The thought that such a fine and bold concept could have disappeared because of my negligence fills me with horror. Suffice to say I shall be supporting the Wikimedia Foundation in the future.

    Jimmy Wales has published a thankyou message now the appeal target has been met, containing links to information regarding the support needed to maintain this free access to knowledge. I hope you decide to donate and help keep Wikipedia free of advertising.
