What banner is even being discussed here? I don't see any banner about wikipedia "shutting down at any moment due to lack of funding". There is a banner, yes, but it doesn't say anything like that. Are other people seeing other things, or is the discussion about a banner (yes, there is a banner) that doesn't ever say what's being claimed? For reference, I see this. It reads reasonably to me, and never makes crazy claims about shutting down. Wikipedia is not for sale. A personal appeal from Jimmy Wales Please don't scroll past this 1 minute read. This Friday December 23rd, as 2022 draws to a close, I humbly ask you to reflect on the number of times you visited Wikipedia this year, the value you got from it, and whether you're able to give £2 back. If you can, please join the 2% of readers who give. If everyone reading this right now gave just £2, we'd hit our annual goal in a couple of hours. The price of a cup of coffee is all I ask. Wikipedia is different. No advertising, no subscription fees, no paywalls. Those don't belong here. Instead, the Wikimedia Foundation relies on readers to support the technology that makes Wikipedia and our other projects possible. Being a nonprofit means there is no danger that someone will buy Wikipedia and turn it into their personal playground. If Wikipedia has given you £2 worth of knowledge this year, please donate now, it really matters.
