June 26: An important update for readers in Japan.

You deserve an explanation, so please don't skip this 1-minute read. It's Friday, June 26. Our fundraiser won't last long, but fewer people are seeing our message this month and we might not hit our goal. If you've lost count of how many times you've visited Wikipedia this year, we hope that means it's given you at least ¥300 of knowledge. If everyone who finds Wikipedia useful gave ¥300, we'd hit our goal in a few hours.

It's been 25 years and Wikipedia is still free. It's still created by people, not machines, and we don't run ads or put up paywalls because we're not here to make a profit off your attention. In other words, it's still the internet we were promised.

Less than 2% of our readers donate, so if you've never given and Wikipedia has provided you with at least ¥300 worth of knowledge, donate today. If you are undecided, remember any contribution helps.
