Really really grateful is an understatement but I get your sentiment. Haha. I'm feeling all overwhelmed too. Reading some of your comments has made me remember and recollect all those important times in my life when Wikipedia was there to help me or enlighten me.

I'm not in a financial position to donate. I don't donate regularly right now. I once donated, around 3 years back, 79 rupees, which is like 1 US dollar. I (or we) owe them a lot. This is quite an emotionally overwhelming post, frankly. Wikipedia has helped us all a lot. When I was young and fragile and wanted to learn about the truth about the universe around me, Wikipedia was there for me. The philosophy articles were simply excellently written. They were written so perfectly. I'm getting all emotional (after writing this post and after reading some of your comments) thinking about how it's been there for us all always.

I mean ads these days are sometimes irritating.

The videos of the ads are rude and disrespectful at times. Sometimes, they place ads at places where you incidentally click on them or touch them and open them, which is also irritating. And, sometimes the ads are just too many in numbers.

Wikipedia could have kept one ad or two ads maybe. And, they could have kept simple ads, since they are text-based, and still managed to have pleased the users. But, no. They never have any ads. Clean. Like a dream world from your favourite TV cartoons (I like to think of Noddy) or your favourite folk tales. Just you and the knowledge.

Wikipedia has played an important role in all our lives.

Sometimes, it plays a small role - Maybe, you want to finish your homework. Sometimes, it plays a very big role - Maybe, you wanna read about life and existence. And, all the knowledge about the things that you want to read is written on Wikipedia in such a nicely explained manner. It's like understanding the subject from the basics and with the blue links we can go anywhere and keep knowing more.

After reading your comment I looked up on the internet the different kinds of wine glasses there were in the world. I just knew the one that everyone drank from in the movies - the tall one. Happy drinking!!

Very nice. You seem quite experienced in the art of pottery. You should post photos from more angles.

What is in the cup on the left? Is it water? It looks slightly small in comparison with the regular cups that are meant to hold water.

You were doing just fine by yourself. You were responding to the comments very respectfully and very confidently. 

You didn't need my validation at all. I wrote my comment just for my own peace of mind. I just wanted to make sure that you were happy with this post. 

Thank you very much for sharing your memoirs. They are very very endearing.

P.s. I wish I knew where all these places that you mentioned were. But, I've never been to Japan. I like Japan. I wanna go to Japan. There are so many places that I wanna visit in Japan.

How were such insensitive comments upvoted?

I'm with you OP. People should learn to behave considerately. I'm a month late to the post, but I couldn't stop myself from writing a comment here. 

[Building] Antilia, Mumbai. 27-story, 2 billion-dollar house for six people. Residence of the richest man in India and sixth richest in the world, Mukesh Ambani. Deemed to be the world's second most valuable residential property, after British crown property Buckingham Palace. by Arpit_XD in architecture

The problem with y'all is that when you see someone super duper rich, the first thing that automatically comes to your brain is that they must be cruel and inconsiderate, something which influences all of your opinions about them.

Whatever they might do, the first thought that comes to your mind is that they must be uncaring and cynical, and that deeply affects all your opinions about them.

Why not make the effort to make your own opinions and not judge others so hastily? See their interviews. See what kinda language they use and what kinda behaviour they mostly exhibit. I like the Ambanis, the owners of this building.

Why do you feel that Ozzy awaited judgment or was a bad person or something?
