Help Wikipedia, help yourself

Hi all, I guess as law students we have frequent deadlines, projects, papers, seminars, debates, moots etc. late night research on net, frantic calls to friends, sending out mails to the whole university if one is in third year or above (the first and second years lack the courage to spam the inboxes of others, though the trend is changing fast); for all such harried souls the first (and often the last) post of resort is Wikipedia, the free, open, community managed encyclopedia. We copy, paste, format into MS word and then as teachers dont like the wiki citation we put in a name of books, law review articles the more industrious ones take links given in the reference of the wiki article and cite the same (this is in-fact accepted by law review boards, though may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction). Such has been the advent of wiki that in an offline conference an English professor of a reputed university confessed that she had taken up editing Wikipedia because most of the students copied from wiki and so it is best if they copy the right stuff. Now my friends, Wikipedia as we all know (if not search for Wikipedia in Wikipedia) is run by a non-profit organization, and Wikipedia is ad-free so it will depend on money donated by us, the users, to run its servers and other operations. A friend of mine who perhaps have never paid a single paisa for any software in life (his argument is that he pays for internet charges, so he should not be asked to pay for any other proprietary programs) has donated few dollars to the Wikimedia foundation. Just on another note, the only thing I remember from my first year economics class (apart from the supply and demand curve) is the concept of tragedy of commons, but year after year people have donated and kept Wikipedia alive so invest in wiki and just remember that investing in Wikipedia is investing on your future projects.
