If you see any advertisements, something on your end or in between will be placing them. Some <a href="/wiki/Browser_extension" title="Browser extension">browser extensions</a> or <a href="/wiki/Browser_plugin" class="mw-redirect" title="Browser plugin">plugins</a> can do this - for example, Codec-C, <a href="/wiki/Genieo" title="Genieo">Genieo</a>, and InfoAtoms. Your computer may also be infected with <a href="/wiki/Malware" title="Malware">malware</a>, which will commonly result in advertisements being placed within the websites that you visit. Installing and scanning your computer for infections using anti-malware software will usually resolve this issue. You may also be viewing a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks" title="Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks">mirror or fork</a> of Wikipedia that is hosted by someone else and not the Wikimedia Foundation. These unofficial forks have sometimes been reported to contain advertising or other content. The best way to resolve this matter is to verify that the URL that you're currently navigated to within Wikipedia begins with the following URL: <b><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/">https://en.wikipedia.org/</a></b>. If you're unsure if this is the issue, simply copy the bold text and use your browser to navigate there. There may also have been inappropriate edits to Wikipedia that may have appeared as an advertisement. Such edits are against Wikipedia's <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PG" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PG">policies and guidelines</a> and should be <i>removed</i> upon discovery.</dd></dl> <div
