How much do you think Wikipedia is worth?Wikipedia has become an increasingly indispensable source of information for many people. What once started as a small project by a handful of enthusiasts are now, seven years later, one of the ten most visited websites on the Internet. More than 200 million readers visit Wikipedia at least once a month. Every day Wikipedia grows a little and attracts new readers. To meet these increasing demands, we need your financial support. Wikipedia's infrastructure is run by a non-profit charitable organisation, Wikimedia Foundation who depends on donations of money and other forms of support to survive. Wikipedia has for example now advertising but lots of expenses in form of servers, bandwidth, and technical staff. In Sweden there is the non-profit organisation Wikimedia Sverige whose purpose is to support the Wikimedia projects with different projects and activities locally. Help us raise the quality on Wikipedia  Help more to learn how Wikipedia worksThe best way to enhance the quality on Wikipedia is to increase the number of users. To do that Wikimedia Sverige is arranging classes, workshops and making educational material. To give more people the opportunity; high school teachers, retired people, immigrants – we don't need just money. We need people who can help us informing about Wikipedia. Show your interest. Wikimedia Foundation also runs seven sister projects to Wikipedia: Wikinews, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikimedia Commons, Wikiversity, Wikispecies and Meta-Wiki. They are also a part of Wikimedia Sverige's area. We will be more than happy to show you how these projects work. See for example Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository. Help us support the writers of WikipediaTo raise the quality, we support the writers of Wikipedia, mainly by prizes to article creation contests. A prize for a well written article can do miracles by increasing the commitment amongst our many good article creators. How can I help?There are many ways. Not all of them includes donating money.
