In a campaign to cut costs, officials suggested the patent office might simply be shut down. It seemed like every possible invention had been created and patented already.

We all know how that turned out!

Tänäänkin ihmiset näkevät Wikipedian 22 miljoonaa artikkelia ja he ajattelevat, että kaikesta on jo kirjoitettu. Se ei pidä paikkaansa. Paljon työtä on edelleen jäljellä.

I'm Srikeit, and my friend is Noopur. We are members of the largest generation of young people in the world. In fact, more than half of India's 1.2 billion population is younger than 25 years old. Our generation benefits from better education, higher literacy rates, and widespread Internet access. The world is changing, and we're helping change it. But we still have a lot to accomplish.

Through this amazing project -- Wikipedia -- we can bring the world's knowledge to India. And we can bring India's knowledge to the world.

Please, donate whatever you can to help Wikipedia grow. We still have so very much to do.
