Dear Wikipedia readers: We are the small non-profit that runs the #5 website in the world. We have only 150 staff but serve 450 million users, and have costs like any other top site: servers, power, rent, programs, staff and legal help. Wikipedia is something special. It is like a library or a public park. It is like a temple for the mind, a place we can all go to think and learn. To protect our independence, we'll never run ads. We take no government funds. We run on donations averaging about $30. If everyone reading this gave $3, our fundraiser would be done within an hour. If Wikipedia is useful to you, take one minute to keep it online another year. Please help us forget fundraising and get back to Wikipedia. Thank you.

When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners, but decided to do something different. Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn't belong here. Not in Wikipedia.

— Wikipedia Founder, Jimmy Wales

Please give whatever you can to end the fundraiser today.

[edit] Quotes about Hawaii Reporter

Wall Street Journal Columnist John Fund says, “Malia Zimmerman and her crack staff of contributors have proved you can cover City Hall, and the state Capitol and the business community with fearless and fair reporting. Hawaii Reporter is on the rise and it’s no surprise that Old Media outlets are now struggling to compete with it.”[4]

John Rutledge of Rutledge Capital, who is also an author and star of Fox News says, “The Hawaii Reporter is Hawaii’s leading investigative newspaper reporting on business, community, and government affairs. Headed by the fearless Malia Zimmerman, the Hawaii Reporter takes on tough issues, like government corruption, overzealous regulation, and substandard public education, that Hawaii’s needs to address to grow and prosper.”[5]

KSSK Radio’s Morning Commentator Michael W. Perry says, “For the same reason that we rely on Internet sources to counter sloppiness and bias in the national media, we need Hawaii Reporter to give the seldom-heard ‘other side of the story’ in our local Media. Malia and the gang are must-reads for me everyday.” Michael W. Perry, KSSK Radio.[6]

Orson Swindle, Former Federal Trade Commissioner, says “Hawaii Reporter is a valuable source of information for me to keep in touch with reality in Hawaii. My compliments to Malia Zimmerman for her persistent, courageous and quality efforts at keeping the truth highly visible in Hawaii.” [7]
