Donated again today - give them a buck if you have one to spare. The internet would be worse without Wikipedia.

In addition to donating: if you find a Wikipedia page on a topic that you're well versed in and you see that there may be an old mistake or new knowledge on this topic, go ahead and make an edit to the page. You don't need to make an account, editing is fairly straightforward, and it helps keep Wikipedia an accurate source of knowledge for any topic.
