Can i wrote off a donation to wikipedia in my taxes?

Donation of cash, yes. (To a qualifying entity. They should provide you with a statement.)

Donation of knowledge, no.

I assume you mean donations to the Wikimedia Foundation.

In the U.S.: Yes
In Canada: from the donor's US taxable income only
In all other countries: No, but you may be able to make the donation to a local chapter of the foundation, instead of the main organization, and deduct the donation to the chapter.

For details see, http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Dedu...

For official confirmation, see letter from the IRS at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/fo...
