Then you can be the one to put Wikipedia’s fundraising efforts over the $1 million mark.
The online encyclopedia that anyone (even chuckleheads) can edit features a “live list of donations” on its homepage — total as I type: $948,270.50 — so you’d certainly get your 15 minutes of fame for shelling out that 50 large and change to make the wiki kitty a cool million.
And they have an FAQ that answers virtually every question about the fundraising that one could imagine (how Wikipediaish of them).
For example: What are they doing with the money?
The money will be used for the continued operation and improvement of Wikimedia projects. This includes hardware, bandwidth, staff, events like Wikimania, and other expenses. A successful fundraiser will mean both being able to continue and expand what we are currently doing, and to have a secure financial base for the future.
