Jason "I love SEO" Calacanis brings to light, news that Wikipedia has only enough funds to last 3-4 months. He believes that a few hard-core Wikipedians are being stubborn, by not considering advertising on the site.
I find it really ironic that a certain percentage (and I'm not gonna give percentages anymore :-) of the Wikipedia core team feel that they should decide for the entire Wikipedia audience the advertising policy.What happen to consensus people80% of people would opt to see an advertisement and the vocal minority that controls Wikipedia with an iron fist/IRC channel will block it.
Thoughts? Would you be happy to have Wikipedia continue, even if it meant ignoring tolerating some ads? Would you even miss Wikipedia if it went away?
