I think there ate two issues here, not one, even though all the replies
concentrate on just one issue: 1) why (good quality) pictues do not make

Given that CentralNotice still isn't working, I've taken the hopefully
temporary and short-lived approach of simulating the candidate notice
using enwiki's local site notice.
Extending the nomination period does little if people don't actually

You're correct that extending it doesn't do much good if we don't get
the word out. Thanks for doing this.

I find it somewhat ridiculous that someone would not know about the

Wikimedians--
As many of you know, last month we began work on exploring the
visibility of the donate button on all Wikimedia projects. After a long
comment period, we received many comments and many new ideas. Some of

Testing should be done in parallel, not in sequence. History has
demonstrated that donors have a tendency to respond disproportionately
