I mostly agree. On the other hand, I would block any ad they posted, so I'm not sure how much my opinion should count.

  Honest question, how would you have them get paid for your use of their service?

    Someone (doctors, lawyers, corporations, someone) with a lot of money is willing to fork it over to Wikipedia for something that isn't available right now, and they should probably figure out what that something is. Begging all the time is a bit silly for the 5th largest site on the internet.

      NPR is IMHO the best radio station in the USA, and that's how they get their funding. If anything I think it may be the other way around - advertising is a stupid way for organizations that need to be unbiased to get their money, begging is the only way to get money with integrity for that sort of organization.

    I use Wikipedia enough that I'd probably pay for it if they put up some kind of "pay wall". To be honest, though, it's not my problem.
