Already done. I have charged... err, suggested a $500,000 donation for the
advertising. I'll let you know what they say. And if they donate, I want
to eat dinner with Jimbo.

Subject: [WikiEN-l] advertising?
Hmmm, advertising in Wikipedia?
Just now, I came a across a 5-minute promotional video listed as "Fair Use"
embedded in an article. The article was Chicago Spire, a new building
planned
for Chicago, and the video was by the architectural firm that is planning
the building (scheduled for completion in 2010). For the record, it has
been
there since October 11. Oh, you might also note that the relevant article
is
the number 2 Google hit for the building.
As for my insane suggestion, send the company a bill for one and a half
months of free Internet advertising. That should help with the fundraiser a
bit.
