I brought this subject up in most part because of this: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advertising_on_Wikipedia which is linked to from User:Jimbo Wales. This gave me the impression that it was something he was considering in the back of his mind all the time.
I interpreted that page as very old, only historical.
Reading it also gave me the impression that we may get to the point where we have to implement ad's. Now, on weather or not Jimbo will be the deciding factor, you will have to ask him weather or not he will let the community choose on closing the wikipedia vs. ad's.
In any case, Jimmy has just posted that he doubts that ads will ever be right.
