I would guess that editing relies on JavaScript, although merely browsing the domain probably does not. Regardless, I would rather be safe than sorry and have therefore only mentioned a filter that specifically blocks the responsible script.

I do: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Skin#JavaScript. At least the editors use it..

I guess to block the banner on Wikipedia you just have to add "*:BannerController&*" to your filter list.

Thanks very much for those filters!

I have donated to Wikipedia in the past, but I am fed up with the "deletionist morons". When Wikipedia puts a stop to them, I'll start donating again.

I just wanted to agree to you that the actual banner "Please read: A personal appeal from Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales" is so annoying. If it would only be the text it would be okay. But what sucks so much is to be stared by this guy on the picture every time a site is opened. So intrusive and displeasing! A good way to become unpopular, Jimmy Wales! Congrats! So, Jimmy Wales, if you have the need to show pictures of yours to Wikipedia users I suggest that the menu on the left site of Wikipedia is expanded by a new entry like "Jimmy Wales Chum Up". So that ONLY users who want to could click on this entry to get to all the annoying pictures you want to show to them. BUT STOP TO DISTURB USERS WITH BANNERS LIKE THE ACTUAL ONE! :evil:

Some people have no heart. All it's asking is for donations, and NO I DONT WANT TO DONATE AND WANT TO BLOCK YOUR AD CAUSE I WANT FREE INFORMATION.
