these wikipedia personal appeals are getting worse than NPR pledge drives

seriously! shut the fuck up. it's not personal when it's part of the header file of a major interwebs site.

maybe there is something i can do with greasemonkey to autoremove this crap...

oh, well obviously i'd like to think you did

I've never seen these at wikipedia. is it because I have adblock plus and noscript?

See that X on the upper right? Click it (only if you're a wiki member)

i just hate it because it takes up the top 1/3 of the screen with some smug idiot's photo.

overbite or mouthguard?
