-I'm sorry, but I am unable to take off my "wiki defender" hat. &nbsp;I just don't think the wiki is a place to advertise. &nbsp;Are we going to allow Ancestry, FindMyPast and others to advertise ... I think if we make the jump from referring people to paid sites and allowing private advertising on the wiki, then it is a much shorter jump from genealogists advertising to websites expecting to advertise here too. &nbsp;I think what bothers me most is that we are soliciting them, offering free advertising, and placing no expectations on them to add content. &nbsp;If they are as skilled researchers as they are supposed to be, adding a page of content should be nothing for them. &nbsp; Why could they not be required to first add content to the wiki before adding advertising&nbsp;? &nbsp;At least then I could see a benefit to the wiki in taking this detour around the Purpose and Appropriate Topics. &nbsp;[[User:Evancol|evancol]] 17:20, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
