How to block Wikipedia banner ad? (Appeal from Jimmy Wales)
Re: How to block Wikipedia banner ad? (Appeal from Jimmy Wales)
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..tsuchan wrote: In the end I made 2 rules to block all the .js files - what part of our Wikipedia user experience depends on JavaScript? I've never seen anything that needs it.

Thank you sooo much, this one was just WAY too annoying!

I guess to block the banner on Wikipedia you just have to add "*:BannerController&*" to your filter list.
Re: How to block Wikipedia banner ad? (Appeal from Jimmy Wales)
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.

The Annoyance list already takes care of the wikipedia banner.
Re: How to block Wikipedia banner ad? (Appeal from Jimmy Wales)
Thankyou! It was so annoying.
Re: How to block Wikipedia banner ad? (Appeal from Jimmy Wales)
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!diamondfrog wrote:The banner ads that show up atop every Wikipedia page now with the "Please read: A personal appeal from Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales" drive me nuts. ...

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.
