[Speaking personally, not from WMUK]
Not sure how advertisements came in to the discussion, it's totally
different. If we agree we want to share the sum total of all human
knowledge, then it makes sense that we make it as easy to share that
knowledge as possible. Having small, discreet buttons that allow one / two
click sharing removes some of the barriers that may exist. Just my
opinion, of course.

I like the idea of sharing buttons, as long as they aren't too prominent.
Wikipedia was a social medium before the term was really in widespread
use.
I think it also shows that our audience is important. Aren't we ultimately
about sharing?

To my mind, it's not just about sharing, it's about sharing knowledge in a
form which is as neutral as we can achieve to produce. If you stop to
"sharing", then you may just as well let "free to share"
advertisments
invade wikipedia.

You could tweet from a button without WMF sending data to Twitter, so
that's not a problem.
