Fundraiser with matching no less. Wikipedia doesn't need any more money, the Internet Archive is a far better use for a donation. And they don't use fake-urgenc

  I notice their message says something like there's only a 3% chance you'll see the message - but I see 3 different versions of it almost every time I use Wikipedia. So either I should by a lotto ticket, or they're not really doing math when they cite a 3% chance of seeing the ad. Having said that, I did donate to them this year. Every year I choose a different site I use often, or a charity that grabs my attention in time, and donate. There are so many, but each year I choose one, and give them a nice lump sum. It makes it easier for me to contain how much I donate, but also lets me give sizeable donations just the same. I haven't donated money to archive.org, but I have donated code which they did include in one of their topical collections. I might pay up some next year. But I never decide until it gets close to the holidays, end of year when I have money set aside for exactly that purpose.

  Meh I donate to Wikipedia every year. Those peels go away if you donate, not that it bothers me all that much anyway.
