Why are there many volunteers on the foreign Wikipedia site?

One of the world's most popular five websites, Wikipedia, whose founder, Wells, wrote a letter seeking donations sparked public concern about the site's bankruptcy. Faced with the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37831.html "> > The financial crisis, Wikipedia seeks donations from Wells himself to write a request for user donations is the first time. Login to the Chinese interface of Wikipedia, you can see impressively wrote: Wikipedia, make life more convenient, the following shows the current amount of donations, and target donation amount: 6,000,000 U.S. dollars, to the author of the station when the station has raised funds: 4,558,322 U.S. dollars.

In the face of Wikipedia's move, Zhou Ningning is not surprised by the way they donate to feed the site, but by the number of people around the world who recognize and volunteer to participate. I don't think Wikipedia will go bankrupt in the cold winter, and since Wikipedia has more than 150,000 volunteers around the world, it's not just a matter of bankruptcy, but it's a miracle that the Web site that doesn't participate in any commercial form of advertising can grow and thrive and survive. The core of the Wikipedia Web service is to provide free information to users around the world, including people, humanities, history, social sciences, society, Geography, nature, science, technology and so on. Over the past 8 years, volunteers have written 11 million articles in 265 languages. More than 275 million people log on to the site every month to get information, all the information is free, netizens can get a free lunch at this station without paying any fees, and Wikipedia doesn't have any ads. What makes people so hard to believe is that there are only 23 people on the site, no profit model, no ads, so that the search giant Google is in contact with Wells, hoping to provide contextual ads, but wells in the letter explicitly rejected the advertising model.

Wikipedia is a free, free, open encyclopedia collaboration program with participants from all over the world.

This site has a number of national language sites around the world, around the world, participate in volunteers, the size of the big, impressive.

After the English Wikipedia page joined founder Jimmy Wells to raise donations, the Wikimedia Foundation received a 892% jump in donations in just one day, At $283,000 trillion, it has to be admitted that its influence is beyond the borders and that any country with its fans is not likely to survive in China. Wikipedia has been affirmed by many people, that it represents a selfless spirit of the Internet, Wiki has been neutral, leading to many people support it! End this article with a netizen's words perhaps with a certain truth: Wikipedia helps me understand a more real history, the real knowledge is money can not buy. (Author: Zhou Ningning)
