User:HalanTul from the Sakha Wikipedia asked me to ask about this here.
The writers of the Sakha Wikipedia want to add icons to "share in Facebook/Twitter/etc" to some articles to promote the project, but they are concerned about the legal and ideological implications of such a move: Doesn't putting the logo of a commercial company right in the article violate the no-advertising principle?

Wikinews has used these kinds of buttons for quite a while. They are placed in a "share this" box at the bottom of every article. See, for example, http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Egyptian_president_will_not_seek_re-election_in_...
For a while equivalent buttons were also active on Commons but they were turned off as it was unclear they had community support. I'm not aware of any Wikipedia edition that has used them though.
