English Wikipedia editors: “We don't need no stinking banners”
- stareatgoats 4y agoPhew what a relief to see that there is considerable pushback from Wikipedians against the glaring, menacing and ominous banners that "attack" us casual users of Wikipedia at regular intervals. Surely there are better ways to motivate people to support Wikipedia. "Specifically, participants clearly identified that banners that state or imply any of the following are not considered appropriate on the English Wikipedia: - Wikipedia's existence is under threat or dependent on donations - Donated funds are used primarily to support Wikipedia and/or its volunteer editors - Readers should feel obliged to donate regardless of their means ("guilt tripping")"
