Wikipedia is World's 5th most popular website and has over 400 million users. Running such a huge site is not an easy task and on the top of it, if it's not commercial, things can go worse any time.
Wikipedia runs on donations made by generous people all over the world. Whenever the site runs out of money, Mr. Jimmy Wales (founder of Wikipedia) makes an appeal to the world to donate to the site and people literally donate millions of dollars to the site.
Now, like any other web property, Wikipedia too can survive with the display of advertisements. But would you like it that way?
Would you be disappointed and if Wikipedia displayed relevant advertisements long with the content and even came up with a business model to pay to its editors?
