To answer a few lingering Google-ad Q's -- if Google thinks it's being gamed
by clickthroughs from your site, it can shut off your account. It also retains

Indeed it does.
Has anyone contacted Google to see what they think of opt-in
adverts? I think they might break the AdServe terms of service, in
that Google might see opt-in as encouraging people to click on the
ads to make money for Wikipedia, not because people are interested
in the ads.
However, Wikipedia is quite a high-traffic website, which would
probably give it a reasonable level of clout in any negotiations
with Google.
