Out of curiosity I wonder if it is time to reopen the discussion on no advertising on WMF sites. In a way this banner is a form of advertising (and I don't mind it although on a small screen it pushes too much content down) and a "WMF advertises or other people post a limited number of adverts" question may not have been done recently, I cannot find it. In round numbers the commercial value of putting a narrowed banner where this one is I guess is several hundred thousand USD a day (based on a guess of 12 million impressions and assuming the rate PCM is the same as the Daily Telegraph) so one month a year of selling the banner could pay for WMF entirely?

It was pointed out to me that my bit in this thread was quoted out of context on a website called valleywag. It doesn't seem like that particular publication is likely to have a sterling reputation for accuracy, but my apologies to the folks whose good work was denigrated none the less.
