I think it is important to keep wikipida as is , who wants it to be a place for advertisements, i for one have given a donation to keep it as is, so why not give the price of a cup of coffee,

I normally donate to wikipedia as well.. Not much though (5 or 10usd), since I'm a student and we're pretty poor, so the legend says.

It is usually the less well off that contributes to these things, the rich keep their money in their pockets:rolleyes:..
