I just visited Wikipedia to look some stuff up. The front page already loads quite slow and when it’s finally there, you’re welcome in red letters:

Please read this letter regarding the continuing Wikipedia server problems and find out how you can help.

The Wikipedia database server has crashed and might remain unavailable for several days. Contributors can use OpenFacts as a backup wiki for creating articles.

It seems like Wikimedia is in dire need of some donations/funding (20,000 $ to be exact) for new hardware.

As the recent rescue of the SelfHTML project shows, is it possible to collect even with an average donation of 20 € more than anybody expected (20,885.68 € vs. 5,000 &euro). So, go, sell some of your christmas presents, and Save Wikipedia!
