Wouldnt ads be less intrusive than this? Especially since you can use an adblocker...

Seems like wikipedia is hypocritical. They refuse to add "intrusive ads" to make money and yet they add these ads begging for money that block the entire screen...
I would rather them run ads than beg for money.
What do you guys think?

I'd donate if there wasn't a leftist agenda.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Well no shit OP, you don't go to a public donation funded website and bitch about the site asking for donations. Just like you wouldn't flip the channel to PBS or NPR and get huffy about pledge drives.
Monetizing a site like Wikipedia with advertising revenue would open a new set of complications for them that they can get around by just asking for donations.

I really like that it is funded and functional and arguably the largest encyclopedia archive in the world pretty much exclusively thanks to its users. It's pretty fucking cool.
En.wikipedia.org/wiki/wikipedia:size_of_wikipedia
29.6 million users 40.856 million pages
And if I'm not doing math wrong it has 450 petabytes of text information. Or about 449424 terabytes. And I believe this is the English section alone.

Why watch tv when you can stick nano-memnomic tubules up your ass which infuse you with terabytes of information as they dissolve.
