Wikipedia

Dear Keith, Have you ever experienced that special feeling of being part of a community? Wikipedians have a word for that feeling of belonging and appreciation: WikiLove. As a donor to the Wikimedia Foundation, I'm sure you've felt WikiLove, even if you didn't know the word for it until now. That feeling of community is essential to our goal. No matter our role, we're all on the same mission together: to create, use, and share the world's knowledge with everyone. I wanted to take a moment to share some WikiLove for you. It’s your ongoing generosity that keeps Wikipedia alive and vibrant. Your recurring gift supports the 265,000+ volunteers, organizations, and groups that collaborate across 14 Wikimedia projects to bring the world’s knowledge to everyone, no matter where they are in the world. Because of you, they can continue spreading WikiLove through their work, day after day, month after month. Thank you for being there each month too, Keith. Did you know? In addition to all of the work volunteers do to maintain Wikipedia as a trustworthy, global resource, many participate in contests to share and celebrate the world’s culture and history through photography and video: The “Wiki Loves” contests.

Love for our folklore, love for our natural and cultural heritage, and love for the world we all share.
