This is dumb. Stop asking us for money and just put some small ads up in the corner. No one will care. Thanks.
I think there's a small, loud contingent of regular Wikipedia contributors who would care, and who would be very upset. And, unfortunately, the Wikipedia culture is very prone to angry mobs.
In my ideal world, someone would fund an endowment that would keep Wikipedia running into perpetuity. No ads, no risk of running out of money if the users don't donate.
So, the total number of users on the internet is about 1.1 billion?? Is that right,or doesn't it seem less?
