Subject: Lee - I'll be frank.<br>
<br>
Dear Donor,<br>
<br>
I'll be frank: the Wikipedia of today is not the Wikipedia
you donated to<br>
a year ago.<br>
<br>
As the world changes around us, Wikipedia does too.
Volunteers from around<br>
the world have been working around the clock to collaborate
with each<br>
other remotely, in an open and decentralized environment.
There are<br>
currently 5,200 COVID-19-related articles in over 175
languages that have<br>
been viewed more than 400 million times, a number that
reflects<br>
Wikipedia's position as a major global knowledge source.<br>
<br>
Wikipedia has been called to map knowledge as it develops
and provides<br>
each of us with a clearer understanding of today's world.
Each day, major<br>
search engines depend on us to verify sources and provide
fact-based<br>
information that is neutral and accurate. At a rate of 1.9
edits per<br>
second, hundreds of thousands of volunteer editors are
editing Wikipedia<br>
and as we continue to grow, we have a responsibility to
ensure that<br>
Wikipedia remains a safe place to share, innovate, and find
common ground.<br>
<br>
Please join this special, virtual event to learn just what
makes Wikipedia<br>
so well-equipped to face this moment in time. Your
attendance will confirm<br>
you stand in solidarity with this essential cause.<br>
