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.
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]
Ads aren't very professional. The last thing Wikipedia wants to do is even further decrease its credibility.
PBS runs ads, are they not professional? Quote from: Hargbeast on September 12, 2016, 03:39:14 PMAds aren't very professional. The last thing Wikipedia wants to do is even further decrease its credibility.
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?
