Wikipedia is FULL of ads. They're just all ads for wikipedia.

I didn't know you could paint tulip gold that easily.

Outstanding sales and marketing strategy by this 'non profit' organization. Expect the fund-raising (aka 12 month's revenue in one hit) to come around each and every year forever more at about the same time ..

From https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki...raising_Report..

"We will rely on our proven process to improve the effectiveness of our annual campaigns while innovating to find new revenue streams."

Give a few quid to wikipedia.

I use wikipedia a lot. It would be terrible if it turned in the Daily Mail.

To all our readers in the UK:

Time is running out in 2016 to help Wikipedia. When I made Wikipedia a non-profit, people warned me I’d regret it. Over a decade later, it’s the only top ten site run by a non-profit and a community of passionate volunteers. Has it crossed my mind how much money we could have made if it had ads? Sure. But I believe people wouldn’t want to build it and we wouldn't be able to trust it. To protect our independence, we'll never run ads. We're sustained by donations averaging about £10. Now is the time we ask. If everyone reading this right now gave £2, our fundraiser would be done within an hour. That's right, the price of a cup of coffee is all we need. People say we live in a media environment where facts have become subjective. At Wikipedia, we reject that idea. We believe facts matter. Please help us keep Wikipedia online and growing. Thank you — Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia Founder

Bung them a few quid for Christmas.
