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.
