I am afraid this is the wrong list for such a question. The folks on foundation-l will probably be able to answer your question.

Hi,
Referring to the last few sentences of the letter of appeal I have a few inquires. Take a look at the following sentences.
We want to keep it free and strong, but we need the support of thousands of people like you.
I invite you to join us: Your donation will help keep Wikipedia free for the whole world.
The sentence structure seems to claim that WP will place advertising if it doesn't receive enough funding and I do believe that this isn't what we would want.
What if WP lack of funding, will the foundation use advertising as a threat for donation? I hope Jimmy didn't wrote that appeal personally. Perhaps it is just another staff. No insult or criticism. I am just asking.
Let me know what you think.
