I love wikipedia, and the fact it is a non profit outfit. It becomes biased the moment it decides to monetise it's content. While the idea behind the appeal to Jimmy seems on the outset a noble one, I can't sit down and say nothing because it is so wrong.
The article (not so cleverly) drops two companies names/urls in for the role of helping out after conveniently figuring out how to fill the $16million finance hole in one go. This is nothing more than a personal appeal for the respective companies to monetise wikipedia, ergo monetise themselves .. I'm sure Jimmy has seen it all before and won't pay it any attention; as it deserves absolutely none.
It doesn't take a genius to work out that the moment wikipedia pages start monetising, they become biased.
