Hello,

Today my niece called me to the computer saying that Wikipedia was
advertising an adult site. I told her that Wikipedia doesn't show ads. She
insisted and this is what I found:

Bonjour François
En fait, wikiwix n'est pas un site miroir de Wikipedia (une copie).
C'est un peu plus compliqué.
Le lien sur lequel vous avez cliqué fait partie des liens de
références (c'est à dire des liens menant vers des sites web externes,
qui sont utilisés comme sources de l'article).

The integration of this search engine into wikipedia (which seems to be a
very lucrative deal for this company) is just one of the problems. The ads
that I've mentioned are unacceptable (escort girl = prostitution). I will
