We'll have to agree to disagree that having a banner that includes the text "urgent" is misleading. Where were we "telling people that if they didn't donate Wikipedia would go offline"? Can you cite the specific language (banner or landing page) that you're objecting to? Or is this just you again objecting to the word "urgent"? -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
