From Wikipedia author Karthik Nadar
On the day a terrorist attack ripped through the heart of my city, Wikipedia changed my life.
The 2011 bombings in Mumbai made international headlines, but at the moment the crisis struck, there was no straightforward information about what had happened.
I knew I couldn’t be the only one looking for answers. So I went out to take photos, uploaded a map I pasted together, and made sure the Wikipedia article on the incident would help people make sense of the chaos.
Since then, I’ve made thousands of edits to Wikipedia articles. My experience that day on Wikipedia made my passion for photojournalism clear, and I’ve followed that path ever since.
I felt so grateful for Wikipedia, and when I learned how it stays online, I donated 250 rupees to do my part. Will you make a donation to keep this valuable resource available around the world?
Wikipedia enables us to share the world. With 470 million different visitors every month, it’s revolutionized the way we consume and spread information -- sometimes even down to the moment it happens.
And it does it all for free -- with zero ads, under 1,000 servers and fewer than 100 staff.
That’s amazing. Just look at Google or Facebook. They have hundreds of thousands of servers and tens of thousands of staff.
It’s no wonder Wikipedia is the 5th most popular and most visited site online. And it’s also no wonder why they need support every year from people like me and you.
Will you pitch in $5, $20, $50 or whatever you think Wikipedia is worth to you?
Thanks,
Karthik Nadar Wikipedia author

Thanks, Sue
We still love Brandon :) ! or atleast thats what the CentralNotice allocation says, may be it takes a day or 2 more. For those curious he is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Karthikndr
Thanks Sue, a quick question, forgive me if this thing has already been taken to your consideration. many Indians having no credit cards want to donate to WMF, is that possible for the technical team to add Netbanking and Debit card payment gateway for Indian banks. Secondly if this is not possible for this year is that possible to inform the non credit card holders that they can possible pay the Wikimedia India Chapter on behalf of WMF and the chapter can transfer the funds later to the foundation.

One more thing, it seems, even the fundraising team did not plan INR for 2011 and INR happened accidentally when their payments partner seem to support it. So we cannot expect everything smooth on the first time which was not even planned. (Debit cards, Netbanking, not using VBV/MSC etc). I am hopeful that fundraiser team is working on it actively and might help out solve those, may be from next year we will have a completely supported fundraiser.

Subha,
Its simple. Chapter CANNOT accept any payment(or claim that it can accept) *on behalf* without a formal agreement. Chapter cannot enter into formal agreement due to FCRA laws. There is no point in talking about this in 11th hour, there was a chance in May 2011, chapter worked towards it, but was not able to beat the legal hurdles, we just need to wait one more year.

Oh, wasn't aware of it, yes I do understand the legal procedure and
country wise legal system is the main hurdle here, so hope the best for the next year.

Good to hear :) A lot of my collegemates who wanted to donate couldn't because all they had was a debit card. Am sure that's true for a *lot* of people.

Debit card payments are possible now, see http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/L11_1202_KN/en/US But the amount is shown in USD and not in INR.

Just out of curiosity, Who is Karthik?

The beauty of Wikimedia movement is that there are lots of "silent" contributors that "get discovered" by the larger community one day..

Yes, I think Karthik was one of the Campus Ambassadors applicants. fyi for the rest of the community, what we had done was to pass on the names of the CA applicants to local community members and they were invited to community meet-ups. This was done for Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mumbai (around May 2011.)
For Pune, for example, we invited those had been selected and those we couldn't select as CAs were invited. This had resulted in 2 community meetups in Pune with >50 of these folks attending. (For other cities, we informed them the pilot would not be running, but invited them nevertheless.)
