Wikipedia is not for sale. A personal appeal from Jimmy Wales
Please don't skip this 1-minute read. I'm sorry to interrupt, but this
fundraiser won’t last long. This Wednesday, 20 September, I humbly ask you to
reflect on the number of times you visited Wikipedia in the past year, the value
you got from it, and whether you're able to give €2 back. If you can, please
join the 2% of readers who give. If everyone reading this right now gave just
€2, we'd hit our goal in a couple of hours.
When I set up the Wikimedia Foundation as a nonprofit to host Wikipedia and 12
other free knowledge projects, it meant that we could preserve our core values:
neutral, high quality information, not outrage and clickbait. Being a nonprofit
means there is no danger that someone will buy Wikipedia and turn it into their
personal playground.
If Wikipedia has given you €2 worth of knowledge this year, please donate now,
it really matters. Thank you for your generosity!

FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE
Al-Adid (1151–1171) was the fourteenth and last caliph of the Fatimid dynasty,
and the twenty-fourth imam of the Hafizi Isma'ili branch of Shi'a Islam,
reigning from 1160 to 1171. Like the previous two caliphs, al-Adid came to the
throne as a child, a puppet in the hands of various strongmen who became viziers
of the Fatimid Caliphate. The power struggles in Cairo weakened the Fatimid
state, strengthening both the Kingdom of Jerusalem, a Crusader state, and Nur
al-Din, the Sunni ruler of Syria. The Crusaders repeatedly invaded Egypt; the
Syrians sent their general, Shirkuh, to counter them. In January 1169, Shirkuh
occupied Cairo and became vizier, but died shortly after. He was succeeded by
his nephew, Saladin, who was at first conciliatory towards al-Adid, but
proceeded to dismantle the Fatimid regime, with al-Adid sidelined. Sunni Islam
was established as state religion, culminating in the official proclamation of
Abbasid suzerainty in September 1171. Al-Adid died a few days later; his family
was placed under house arrest. (Full article...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE
The 1990 Nepalese revolution was a multi-party movement that brought an end to
absolute monarchy and the beginning of constitutional monarchy, eliminating the
panchayat system in Nepal. The revolution began in February 1990 following an
alliance between two opposition groups: the Nepali Congress and the United Left
Front. In the subsequent weeks, the movement became increasingly large and
dangerous as thousands of students marched against riot police and hundreds were
arrested and injured. The movement called for bandhs (a kind of general strike)
that quickly spread across the country. In early April, 200,000 people marched
to Kathmandu in protest of the monarchy. Over the course of several days, police
shot and killed dozens as protesters demanded a restoration of the 1950s-era
multiparty democracy system. Protesters surrounded government buildings, and
King Birendra eventually removed the ban on political parties on 8 April, ending
the revolution. This photograph, taken on 9 April, shows Durga Thapa, a Nepali
student, leaping in the air while displaying a double victory sign amidst a
large crowd in Asan, Kathmandu.
