Jquery with Tampermonkey

Question

So my console is giving me this message -

    The page at https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Vehicle_Identification_Numbers_(VIN_codes)/GM/VIN_Codes ran insecure content from http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js.
jquerified: true
ERROR: Execution of script 'GMVinCodeScraper' failed! $ is not defined

    at W (eval at eventHandler (eval at <anonymous> (chrome-extension://dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo/content.js:57:21)))

In my userscript, I am running a function that automates inclusion of jquery on the page and it seems that jquery has been loaded because I can see a script tag with the jquery url as a src attribute.

For reference the function is here -

function jquerify(jquerified){
if(!(window.JQuery && window.Jquery.fn.jquery == '1')){
    var s = document.createElement('script');
    s.setAttribute('src','http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js');
    s.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');
    document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);
    jquerified = true;
    console.log("jquerified: " + jquerified);
    return jquerified; 
}
}
jquerify(false);

So, not sure why $ would not be defined. Any idea why?

UPDATE-

using @require solves the problem.

You can get around this by using @require url
