Somebody that forked the wiki and removed the no advertising policy
might make lots of money. ;-) As in, advertising is allowed *within*
articles (for example an article on a business) as well as at the top.

The trick is to do this *without* their wiki descending into absolute,
total chaos, because if that happens nobody will read it and it won't
be worth anything for advertising anyway.

In principle, Wikis are stable enough to handle this, if you enforce
NPOV and verifiability.
