<blockquote><p><strong>If you agree with me that advertising on Wikipedia will allow the foundation to greatly <a href="http://gondwanaland.com/mlog/2007/01/02/wikipedia-advertising/" title="Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. Thatâ€™s our commitment.">speed the fulfillment of its commitment</a>,</strong> you can make your support known without rancor:</p>
<p><strong>1)</strong> When you <a href="http://donate.wikimedia.org/">donate</a>, leave a comment that says â€œI support advertising on Wikipedia.â€</p>
<p><strong>2)</strong> <strong>On your Wikipedia user page (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mike_Linksvayer">mine</a>), add the following code</strong>, with obvious meaning (<code>|{{PAGENAME}}</code> may not be obviousâ€“itâ€™s a hack to make your name sort correctly in the relevant <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_who_think_that_the_Wikimedia_Foundation_should_use_advertising">category</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_for_optional_advertisements">listings</a>):</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>[[Category:Wikipedians for optional advertisements|{{PAGENAME}}]]

[[Category:Wikipedians who think that the Wikimedia Foundation should use advertising|{{PAGENAME}}]]</pre>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>I have done what Mike says on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Chris._F._Masse">my Chris Masse page at Wikipedia</a>. Mike is a smart thinker for this kind of issues &#8212;<strong>open-source software and open-source <em>knowledge</em>.</strong></p>
