It was on http://en.qweki.com/Special:Recentchanges
This time it is at the right side... However, I am sure that any add like this may be found on any page with key words "Wikipedia" or "Special:Recentchanges" with the MediaWiki structure.
I uploaded my screenshot on Meta (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Buy_wikipedia_II_large.png). "Ads by Google" at the right.
There are at least two problems: - Buy Wikipedia -- Wikipedia is on sale? - If we assume that it is about the content, then trade mark fee should be paid by Google.

Correcting spelling of "buy" in case anyone else was as confused as I was.

So, let's test a little bit Google's tolerance ;) (my site is on Google: http://www.millosh.org/by_wikipedia.png)
The point is that, as you see, inside of the add ons Google has commercial "By Wikipedia". Even the most of problems related to Google's financing Wikimedia are not on the Google's side, I think that Google should give money for promoting non-Wikimedia sites for money with the phrase "By Wikipedia".

No Wikimedia project is currently ad-supported, Google or otherwise. I believe the stance is 'never say never', but I would think the introduction of ads would be extremely unlikely and similarly unpopular. Hope this helps.

I hope that a small image will pass the list.
So, the question is: Does WMF have some money from such kind of Google commercials?
