[Foundation-l] Banner ads in sitenotice

[geni]

Job adverts? Really?. Site notice is for critical stuff (fund raising,
servers about to explode) even if you play with the notice to only
appear ~%10 of the time. Central notice even more so. For less
important stuff where you want to contact the community there is
[[MediaWiki:Watchlist-details]] which would have the additional
advantage of not putting English ads on the Italian (substitute almost
every non english wikipedia of your choice) wikipedia. The size is
also problematical. On my screen it takes up about twice the space of
the average image thumbnail something people who come to wikipedia
actualy want to see.

Incidentally:

"In one or two sentences, describe the process in which users are
approved to become administrators on English Wikipedia. "

Is this some kind of test to see if people know how to use semi colons?
