None of the Wikipedia volunteer editors who add and improve content in articles receive any financial benefit. We all simply contribute our time because we care about building a great encyclopedia for you and innumerable others around the world to use.
If you cannot afford it, no one wants you to donate. Wikipedia is not at risk of shutting down, and the Wikimedia Foundation, which hosts the Wikipedia platform and is asking for these donations, is richer than ever. Hosting costs are around £2 million, while salaries for staff who do not contribute to making Wikipedia, but who are the ones asking for donations, are £67 million
I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. Barack Obama
Our text should arise as a summary of the reliable sources, rather than editors first deciding what they want to say and then looking for sources. Agricolae
I am open to recall, using
Whpq's wording from their
RfA:
"if editors I trust and respect are telling me I should not be an admin, then I would voluntarily resign as an administrator."

I like to see Appalachian Spring on the Main page today (not by me, just interested and reviewed), and I also made it my story. How do you like the compromise in the composer's infobox? - How do you like the statue (look up places)? - I was undecided so show three versions ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:40, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

- Today I see Marian Anderson as my top story (by NBC, 1939), and below (on my talk) three people with raised arms, - and the place is the cherry blossom in Frauenstein. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:45, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- plum tree blossom for Kalevi Kiviniemi in the snow - see my talk -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:08, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
