£2 is nothing but are they pulling my plonker?
Surely something like Wiki must be rolling in it!
I use Wiki at least once a week usually for band discographies and if it went I'd be upset.

Dear David,
About a year ago, you donated £2 to keep Wikipedia online for hundreds of millions of readers. I'm deeply grateful for your continued support. You are part of the 1% of readers who donated to support Wikipedia. We need your help again this year.
I ask you, humbly: please renew your donation today.
Perhaps you’re thinking: Wikipedia will be fine if I don’t give today. Someone else always gives. It’s a little awkward to say this, but consider that fewer than 1% of readers donate to Wikipedia. It’s your generosity that keeps us going. The knowledge that what we’re doing matters, and it matters to people like you. It ensures Wikipedia is here for you when you need us.
Here in the UK, we are not at risk for having Wikipedia deleted, but the threat is out there and it is already a harsh reality in many countries around the world. Imagine waking up and not being able to look up facts on your favorite celebrity or learn about a historical figure for a last-minute paper your child is writing for History class. There are groups around the world that rely on Wikipedia for things like basic, up-to-date medical knowledge so doctors in rural areas can keep their communities healthy. It’s a powerful tool, and there are huge repercussions when it is taken away.
If all our past donors gave again today, our fundraiser would be over within an hour. We’re not there yet. Please renew your gift and ensure that Wikipedia remains independent, ad-free, and thriving another year.
Wikipedia is the closest thing the world has to a public internet. We’re always open, always free, and always there when you need us. We’re here to answer your most embarrassing questions or resolve the silliest debates. But we’re also here to be a common point of reference for the world, the foundation for shared understanding. If Wikipedia were deleted, it would be a great loss to the world. This is a role we take seriously, and we know our integrity is rooted in our independence.
Folks like you help us maintain that integrity, quality, and accessibility. You safeguard our non-profit mission. Please help us keep this wonderful website free and independent for another year, and do your part to make a better world for years to come.
Now is the time we ask. If Wikipedia is useful to you, please take one minute to keep it online, ad-free, and growing another year.
