Wikipedia is starting to annoy me.

5/12/2009

As I’m a natural being an asshole, I just had to do this.

If you’ve been on wikipedia lately, you know that they are asking for donations.

I saw this banner on wikipedia,

click to enlarge!


Trying to capture people’s heart and forcing them to donate.

Cunning.

They are only accepting donations $1 and above. They rejected my $0.50.

Dear Mohamed Nazri,

Thank you for your gift of USD 1.00 to the Wikimedia Foundation,received on December 5, 2009.

Your donation celebrates everything Wikipedia stands for: the power of information, freedom, sharing, learning and discovery. Thank you so much for helping keep Wikipedia freely available for its 330 million readers around the world.

Many people love Wikipedia, but surprisingly few know it’s run by a non-profit. Please help us spread the word, by forwarding this e-mail to a few of your friends.

If you have questions about your donation, please send a message to donate@wikimedia.org. To learn more about the Wikimedia Foundation, visit our blog at http://blog.wikimedia.org/ or our website at http://wikimediafoundation.org/. Or, follow us at http://twitter.com/wikimedia http://identi.ca//wikimedia, or http://bit.ly/wikiFacebook.

And again, thank you. I’m really, really happy to have your help.

Sincerely Yours,

Sue Gardner
Executive Director, Wikimedia Foundation

Je parle francais!

My french role play is finally over! I’m so ecstatic that it’s done. The thought of acting in front of the class has been haunting me through out the entire semester.

Mr Giuliano did commented and said excellent!

I suspect i did pretty bad. I wasn’t that confident with my speech and i did choked up on the longest line.

I’m gonna miss french a lot. One of my favorite subjects.

Now that is over, all is left with our CMSK brochure.

How are you guys digging my new blog theme? I totally adore it. Though i find the banner at the top a tad old, i need something new and french fresh.

//Update

I’m so loving my new blog theme and the quick banner i whip up.
