Apologies to anyone out there who has a big problem with what xkcd.xom is doing today. I think breaking the wiki rules for one day to help increase donation to wiki is rational and acceptable.

Randall at xkcd.com, is encouraging people to donate and thus far has raised almost $20,000. Part of his gimmick is to have people add company names to random wiki pages to change the web comic for today. It doesn't work if we don't let the web pages get vandalized for a few hours. Doing this increases donations and lets everyone have some fun without any actual harm done.
This is not vandalism.
- Yes, I'm aware. I read xkcd and saw today's comic too. It doesn't change the fact that unconstructive edits and replacing genuine facts with random corporate names is still vandalism. The fact that there are donations to the Foundation doesn't excuse posters from Wikipedia policies. Regards, RA0808 talkcontribs 03:19, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
