Wikipedia to pay contributors

Finally this is what all of the contributors to Wikipedia have been waiting for, “Pay!” yes it looks as if all of the hard work and pressure, is about to pay off in more ways than one.

The people behind the source of information known as Wikipedia, have decided that the time is right for them to introduce a way of repaying the contributors for all of the hard work that they have been doing to make the site the success that it has become.

However it was initially believed that they would be paying a small fee to contributors, but is seems that this is not to be, because they are going to pay for illustrations at the moment, which limits the amount of people who can participate.
