Also, the banner pops up, comes down, and covers most of the page. That's really not acceptable. Wikimedia should follow acceptable ad practices, which means a small and STATIC banner, not something that moves, shouts, or otherwise interferes with page content.

When it comes to matters like banner intrusiveness, what matters most is what the average reader thinks. Volunteers are not necessarily a representative sample.
