The ability to tell journalists "Wikipedia is completly free of advertising"

worth more than a few cents from Google ads, IMHO. With ads, even if opt-in, we

be a negative psychological effect on the donors.
I also agree with that
If we once *really* need the money we should use
opt-out, but I hope this will
never happen.
Opt-out is even worse.
If people want to support Wikipedia by looking at ads, I would propose
a Wikimedia-sponsored mirror with ads, while the main Wikipedia is
left pristine. Don't know how effective this would be though.
