Who the fuck wrote this Wikipedia page? It reads like something out of 1834

Wikipedia has a copy paste problem. If you look closely enough, you'll notice all sorts of style problems or passages containing first or second person pronouns. That's because they were directly taken from some other article.

This looks like a translated Roman text was pasted into the page.

There's so much wrong with that shitty information site. If they would give up their socialist dream and just have a single fucking ad on the page they might have enough money to fix all their problems.

Ads aren't very professional. The last thing Wikipedia wants to do is even further decrease its credibility.

my english teacher is having us read night by elie wiesel

after i finished it, i looked at the wikipedia page and the first paragraph literally sounds like a copy-pasted summary that would be on the back of the book

Quote
Night (1960) is a work by Elie Wiesel about his experience with his father in the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald in 1944–1945, at the height of the Holocaust toward the end of the Second World War. In just over 100 pages of sparse and fragmented narrative, Wiesel writes about the death of God and his own increasing disgust with humanity, reflected in the inversion of the parent–child relationship, as his father declines to a helpless state and Wiesel becomes his resentful teenage caregiver. "If only I could get rid of this dead weight ... Immediately I felt ashamed of myself, ashamed forever." In Night everything is inverted, every value destroyed. "Here there are no fathers, no brothers, no friends," a kapo tells him. "Everyone lives and dies for himself alone."[2]

Most TV runs ads. Wikipedia is selling itself as an online encyclopedia. You wouldn't expect ads for local businesses in a physical encyclopedia, would you? And if the ads were distasteful or sexually charged, as internet ads often are?

The internet is a different field than a public library. If they want to survive without having to resort to fundraiser after fundraiser they're either going to have to welcome an advertiser/sponsorship of some sort, or find additional means of making money. Selling a mobile-friendly app would be a smart idea. Or T-Shirts, I'd buy a Wikipedia T-shirt, everyone loves a good shirt....

Also they can choose which ads are played on their site, they don't HAVE to choose shit like J-List.
