I don't get why they just don't put in a couple adds.
Adds have never ruined my expierence on any of the various "Wikia" sites.
It'd allow them to branch out stuff more back how it used to be before Wikipedia got so popular.

Guess it would hurt the reputation of wikipedia...  Corporations investing money for ads while their is also bad news on wikipedia about them...

Well honestly the usual reason related to that which people cite for not having ads is that the ad-makers can pressure the site directly or indirectly (for instance, even if they never say anything the writers may fear losing business). 

But that is a total non-issue for Wikipedia with its hordes of people (who do not depend on or indeed receive any money from those ads) doing all the editing.

Yes and no..I was not clear;..But for example if VGCHARTZ has any ad of an exclusive X360 game it is just another excuse for some to call the VG numbers totally wrong;. 'The X360 numbers are wrong on VGC but what do you expect with that big Halo 3 ad on their site' ....

and the same will said about wikipedia from the wikipedia(haters) ..
