Ads Can Send Wrong Message
Unfortunate banner-ad placement can happen on any site, but Wikipedia seems to be asking for trouble with its new fund-raising campaign. The massive ads across the top of each Wikipedia entry feature large quotes about donating to the crowdsourced encyclopedia. These motivational quotes take on whole new meanings, though, when they’re viewed directly over some topics. They probably should have seen this coming.

You sir are a blog pocher…at least this time it isn’t mine. ;)
I first suspected when you used the word: crowdsourced.

Yes, yes I am. However, I figured you would have “fist suspected” it when I said “(post from here)” with a link to the source at the bottom of the post. Didn’t catch that did you?
I am like 150% sure you just put that in there.
Nope, it was on there from the get go. Sure, I steal, but I give credit!!!!
