Personally, I really dislike the idea of any advertising on Wikimedia. This makes a fool of [[WP:NPOV]], [[WP:COI]] and related policies and guidelines. It should only be considered if things get extremely desperate. The advert-free site is refreshing and welcoming and that is something we should strive to keep, pretty much at all costs.
100% in agreement with you. Ant
My agreement is tempered only by curiousity about what Wikimedia will do now that there is a nearly 5 million dollar budget for next year when the public will not donate more than 2 million during this fundraiser.
Would selling Davis' seat on the board to the highest bidder be more wise than ads?
