辛卯敬告天下善長書

敬啟者︰

夫谷歌者,主機百萬臺;雅虎者,下屬萬三人。吾人維基,主機六百餘,下屬不逾百。

惟當今之世,諸網之中,維基名列第五,月助四百五十萬人,所閱不下十億。

營商無罪,廣告有理,然此非維基之道也。

夫維基者,特立獨行,若書齋、如公園、似思寺。身處此地,無論何人,皆可思索、皆可學習,所謂集思廣益,正在此也。

維基草創之時,本可成公司,謀盈利,卒棄而不取。自是以降,守成艱苦,克勤克儉,迄今依然。所為者,為孚眾望,為遂吾志而已。

若人人樂捐,則五元之微,誠亦足矣。然有心者未必有力,有力者未必有心,故實難如是。猶幸年復一年,善長尚算不鮮。

是年也,為續維基,為存大典,尚祈慷慨解囊。多多益善,少少無拘。不論五元美金、十元歐羅,千元日円,皆不勝感激。

文安!

維基大典創垂者,威霽彌謹啟
