Being able to serve mainspace banners specified by geolocation and/or article category and/or language edition would open up a whole new level of fundraising potential. That would allow you to get local celebrities (who are otherwise not especially popular/known outside their city/state/country/language) to provide endorsements that are quite targeted. For example in countries where there is a very popular sport with a local team (NFL in America, premier league in UK) you could fundraising banners on a per-city basis with local sports stars encouraging people to support Wikimedia. I suspect that this is something where the Chapters would be particularly useful in contacting and negotiating with the relevant people.
More fine-grained control over articlespace banners (with good policy about how/who/when these should be used) would also make it much easier to run real-world events and enable us to contact Wikip/media readers in a targeted way (not just with geonotices served to the Watchlist, which by definition only is able to contact existing editors). However, I suspect that this goes in the "ideas for next year" basket. -Liam wittylama.com/blog Peace, love & metadata On 23 November 2010 22:16, Fajro <[email protected]> wrote: > How about NBA players? > > -- > Fajro > _______________________________________________ > foundation-l mailing list > [email protected] > Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l > _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
