Wikipedia will not be going bankrupt any time soon. If I remember correctly Wikipedia had a goal of six million they reached with this money and more to come, Wikipedia is doing well. Wikipedia also beats the newspaper, because for newspaper to be printer it needs paper and paper is trees and we need these things for oxygen. Without trees we die with out the newspaper we save trees slightly more.

Wikipedia has become a household name and an institution. I think of conducting my searches Wikipedia-less and I get a headache and start shaking…

Terrible nonsense.

It’s a matter of apples and oranges — if apples were professionally produced, labor-intensive products, and oranges were unreliable online collections of poorly written notes (most of which are sourced to newspapers).

A couple of weeks ago wikipedia asked their users to donate 6 million dollars to cover their expenses in 2009.

Good manners by the way.

I think he was referring to the current epidemic of American daily newspapers going bankrupt.

In any case, AFAIK Wikipedia can’t go bankrupt — it has no assets or debts. On the other hand, the Wikimedia Foundation (the umbrella organization which supports Wikipedia & its related projects) *could* go bankrupt, although so far they are taking in much more money than they are spending.
