i Hi, dear reader. Sorry for the interruption, but this Friday, Wikipedia, the FREE online encyclopedia that ANYONE can edit, really needs you. 98% of our readers don't give; they look the other way.
The tracking data we bought with last year's donations indicates that you use Wikipedia more than 93% of visitors. Don't you think you owe it to us? Oh look, it also says you're a "socialist." What, are you waiting for the mommy state to step in? Why don't you skip the latte this week (wow, you paid $4.35 just for coffee and milk??) and give that money to us instead? Judging by your search history, you could use the break from caffeine.
We ask you, humbly: please don't scroll away.

they're even doing viral marketing:
