I donated $10 to Wikipedia

December 9, 2014

I am letting the world know not because I want a pat on the back, but because I want to raise awareness and make this a more commonplace thing to do. Wikipedia must have single handedly raised the average IQ of all people on planet earth by 10 points.

As for those who say that Wikipedia is not an official source of information, STOP RIGHT THERE. IT IS A SOURCE TO FIND OFFICIAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION. READ THE CITATIONS. EACH SENTENCE HAS A CITATION. THIS CITATION POINTS TO AN OFFICIAL SOURCE OF INFO SUCH AS PEER REVIEWED JOURNALS, GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS, AND REPUTABLE NEWSPAPERS. LOOK AT THOSE LINKS.

You can even go to the “talk” tab to see debates around grey areas.

There are countless number of volunteers that make sure that the information is unbiased and factual. We need to keep Wikipedia independent from commercial interests, that is why you don’t see advertisements.

So donate to wikipedia so they can keep on doing what they are doing!
