because when it was first even *mooted*, the Spanish wikipedia promptly
forked. Producing the Enciclopedia Libre and taking a large chunk of the
userbase with it. A truly pointless fork, because it's got pretty much the
same goals.
So the question would be whether it would risk a similar effect.
Interesting. I wasn't familiar with the details of that particular bit
of Wikipedia history.
In that case, I'd say that AdCouncil ads on Wikipedia would be an
EXCEEDINGLY BAD IDEA at this time.
