In regard to today's article on the Los Angeles Times about Wikipedia and funding, I am sure that this has been discussed in the past, but it is not about time we look into this dispassionately?
Would it really be the "end of Wikipedia" to have a "Sponsored links" section as a subsection of the "External links" section on articles in which two or three Google ad words could be placed?
If this happens at all (and I pray it never does) it should not be in the article content itself; it should be in the sidebar or somewhere that doesn't require us to add the section to articles and require mirrors and forks to clean up after us.
