If you´re not going to donate, fine. But I think it´s not so invasive to justify creating a Chrome extension for this.
I fully support Wikipedia running a donation campaign as I find it to be a really valuable resource. However, I find the image staring at me to be really distracting, and somewhat embarrassing if I use wikipedia at work; from a distance, it feels less like I'm researching something and more like I'm looking at a cheesy site. I just don't find the tactic tasteful.
I'm not the author of this extension. If I had the time, I'd actually make a better extension that only hides the image, while leaving the donation bar. It's only the mugshot that I find obtrusive.

If i go to a Wikipedia page without having been there for a day or so, my initial reaction is that the image of the person is somehow tied to the office. Maybe I'm an idiot but it's the first thing that came into my head many times now. Distracting and annoying.
I'm assuming you meant article instead of office. I totally agree... I keep thinking the picture relates to the article and get confused!
