The same way you get your pledge-drive interruptions off your NPR station.
Wikipedia is non-commercial. You get their support solicitations instead of ads. Would you rather have an ad with audio automatically starting and blaring through your speakers every time you go to Wiki?
On Google Chrome you can install the extension called Goodbye Jimmy Wales to get rid of this message. Firefox users can use the add-on called Wikipedia Appeal Remover to get this done.
If you use Opera or Internet Explorer, you can use a Greasemonkey script to get rid of the Jimmy Wales Appeal, you will find the User scripts for the same here. Learn more on installing Greasemonkey scripts in Opera and IE.

Since I am sure Wiki sets cookies just like any other site, they could limit the display of that nagging header to the first Wiki visit per browser session.
When someone gets on my nerves, they are less rather than more likely to get something from me...

LMAO! I couldn't bring myself to rep you on that one, but that was damn funny. I prefer the Jose Quervo add-on myself.
