No Ads in Wikipedia Says Wales

Contrary to a news report that circulated in the blogosphere last week, Wikipedia has no plans to implement advertising on its burgeoning consumer generated encyclopedia. That’s according to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, who told ClickZ News he remains opposed to advertising on the voluminous reference site. Wales said he was badly misquoted in a Times Online story published last week with the headline, “Wikipedia chief considers taking ads.”

It’s great to know that Jimmy is so against having ads on the site, but it must be extremely difficult to muster up the funds to keep a massive site like that running. Source: ClickZ.
