Wikipedia has shown photos of the online encyclopedia's creator Jimmy Wales in banners requesting donations as shown above.
Recently the banners no longer show photos of Jimmy Wales. They now show photos of Wikipedia authors and editors as shown below.
Getting rid of them is still as easy as clicking on the "x" in the box located in the upper right of the banner.
Clicking the "x" will set a cookie that makes the personal appeal go away for good -- or until the next time you dump all of your cookies.
We wonder if the young college dropout, who claimed to be a college professor with degrees in theology and canon law, will be on one of the donation request banners.
The college dropout mentioned above made more than 20,000 entries and/or changes in Wikipedia articles as reported here and here.
